Johnmal Member 39 Member For: 7y 7m 22d Posted 25/09/16 01:35 AM Share Posted 25/09/16 01:35 AM Probably a silly question however, I live on the Gold Coast and it's very small and a lot of congestion, if I do t push the turbo hard or give it a bit every now and then, is that bad for the turbo?

It'll be fine as long as it has oil supply and you use good oil. Wouldn't hurt to get an aftermarket oil feed line as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's fairly cheap and you need about 6.5 litres per change. Most guys use an earls kit for their feed line. They're on eBay. There's a difference between ba-f to fg-x. Not sure what that is but the kits are priced different. Could be thread sizes. I got mine from a wholesaler near me for $110 with the inline filter. I think mine is a touch longer than the earls style. I ran mine away from the block towards the header tank and down to the turbo. This keeps a lot of heat out of the line. Pics in my build thread.
