    Good and tight turbo manifold. Oil drain question for those running this

    What are you guys running for a turbo drain on this manifold?

    I'm running a gt35r and have gone threw prob 3 different setups for the oil drain coming off the turbo.

    I currently have a -10an line attached to a 90 fitting. Its SO close to the turbo, that the braided line is melting. There is such little room in there between the turbo and the fender well.... im wondering what you guys came up with.

    Does anyone make a bendable -10 an fitting with a barbed end? That I can bend where i want. LOL. That would sell like crazy.

    I guess the braided clotch push lock hose I used will not stand up with the heat under the hood. Im not sure how much better the blue silicon stuff is... i see for sale at some places like ATP turbo.

    Any advice from those that have gone down this path?

    Thanks,
    Jay

    Could you clock the chra to angle the line one way or the other for better clearance?

      Yes, it's been clocked to give me the best clearance....still not much though. I did find some flexible fittings made for diesel trucks.....gonna see if I can figure out if any will fit my gt35.

        If all else fails you can send me your 35r and i'll send you my turbonetics gtk. I have no issues with my oil drain, so that'll solve your problem, while solving my desire for a 35r ;)
