Default Turbo oil line question...upgrading...

Again, from my experience with Greddy kits on the RSX, I know the weakspots.

I need/want to replace the turbo feed/return lines. I know the feed is stainless braided but they are known to be of low quality. My friend's car had a hole in the feed line (not at the fitting) and burned his AC line, along with his heatwrap. Good thing we caught it.

I also don't like the rubber return hose. I would like to install a fitting to the oil pan (either welded, but prefer to have it screw right into the drain plug) with a high quality line....so, my question is,

what kind of lines (brand, etc) do you guys recommend for maximum quality? Price is no object.

dave,

I had Scott at Ballistic weld a bung onto an oil pan for me. He did a great job.

As far as the line, maybe you can find a reputable hydraulic shop near you. there is a place near me called "The Hose Connection". When I turbo'ed my CRX, I had them make me a variety of steel braided oil lines. A good shop can make it with the AN fittings crimped on the ends of the hose like factory.

If you can't find anything near you and can tell me the exact size you need, I don't mind doing the leg work for you and having some made.
