Thread: turbo oil drain line

where do u get the stock replacement line ? I couldn't find one that's why i just bought one off ebay and starting improvising with it.




This was my solution, it will work flawlessly i bet but i would rather order the stock one just to have it just in case something goes wrong i could put the right one on next time.

Oh my.

when doing your oil drain please remember that it works via gravity, so you want it to be very un restrictive and flow easily into the block, or else your seals will suffer

good god o mighty i have seen it all.

That will NOT work flawlessly. Your turbo will suffer if you leave it like that. I suggest not driving the car until you can return it back to stock.

Where the red line in this picture is, is the angle you are looking for. Or pretty close to it. Your drain hose should not even come close to being level with the ground, or it will not drain properly. You want to keep the hose angle as vertical as possible. And no 90 degree bends like you have here. You want to keep the flow path as free-flowing as possible, with very little restriction. A 45 degree bend is about the most I would attempt.

Where do i order the stock one? I havent been able to find one

You can find the flanges with straight or angled tubes all over ebay. Just search for your turbo, and oil drain. Ex: "t25 oil drain", or "t25 oil return". Your bound to find one.

You could easily make one the right way too. Just use the drain flange you already have. Get a 45 degree elbow fitting that will thread into your drain flange. That should give you a straight shot to the oil return fitting on the block. Ditch the elbow on the oil pan for a straight barb fitting. Then, just use a high temp rubber hose to go from the 45 elbow to your straight return fitting on your block.

Or, someone here on the forum may have a stock assembly they will sell you?

Yea i wasnt sure that it would work either thats why i put up the picture, thank god i did. Where can i get the stock one? I havent been able to find it anywhere i bought one off ebay and it just showed how bad cheap is, worthless. So any websites?

Or any sites where i could find a oil rated 45 degrees hose?

Mine came with my turbo when I bought it used, otherwise I'd tell you exactly where to buy one. =(
