I have the t25g Im putting on my ca18det......I had a gt28rs on there......

anyways I have an oil feed line that was for the ca18et (for the t25g that was on there)....anyways where you thread it into the block its completely different on the DET.....needs to be bent 90 degrees.....

so question is.....can a gt28rs feed line be used on the t25g??....and if not....is there an easy way to DIY bending of the SS line to make it work?.....I dont wanna kink anything but the way its bend it would definitely kink if I bent it the way it needs to bend

not sure if theres enough room to do that...Ill have to do some test fitting tomorrow

if not Ill just take it to the shop that did my coolant lines and get them to modify it or bend me up a new one....bah!

so the line I got off my gt28 wont work???

Im a n00b when it comes to turbos in general...isnt the restrictor attached to the housing and not the line itself??

cuz my gt28 oil feed line should fit perfect and its the same diameter as the t25g's.....so why wouldnt it work?
