ive already cut my water lines because they didnt line up quite the same. but you are welcome to them if you want them. the oil line needed some bending, but only a little.

whyte, just make sure you rotate the centre before you bolt it all up. compare it to the stock turbo. i rekon if we did that with mine, everything would have been fine

FWIW i got a set made up just yesterday at Motorsport connections in seven hills

took the lines with me and they made them up on the spot, very good quality and can rotate in anyway you need which is great for fitting

all up $280 for 2 water and 1 oil line

you can take your turbo and manifold setup to pertik, with the old lines and the make then up for you, it cost me about 80 bucks for two lines to be made, one oil and one water, the one in smithfield and they lined up perfectly.

I swear pirtek are the most unpredictable when it comes to pricing. I paid 90 bucks to have one oil line made up using earls fittings.

A mate went there to get another line made up and it cost him $130 for the same thing (also trade price)

I went there about a week ago to get a power steering line repair it was 10bucks and they had to replace a meter of hose.
At the same time I bought a spare oil ine identical to the first for 50 bucks.
(I bought a spare as mine runs awfully close to the manifold and I have a feeling it will let go one day)

i second that ! i went to pirtek first, because BHdave quoted prices which seemed good, so off i went and they quoted me $300 for 2 water and 1 oil line, didnt have all the fittings either, said he had to order them in bla bla bla... went to motorsport connections, made it on the spot for $280

Were you after screw in type fittings or just banjos? Mine were just banjo fittings and 1 barbed on one of the water lines.

I've found that the screw in fittings add to the price alot, particularly if you need adapters. You are looking at about $10 per fitting/adapter.

I can't use banjo's on my turbo so they are all the barb fittings with a fixed peice in the turbo.

Much like the HP in a box set zei would have just gotten.

yup. i think because all the fittings are metric threads on the turbo and engine, but the fittings for hoses (being based on gas) are all imperial threads. thats why they all come with adaptors
