I'm wondering about the reliability of the ebay steel braided oil line kits and how well the adapters hold up to high heat on the turbo. Does anyone have experience with these? Do the brackets warp from the heat on the turbo? Taking the turbo off would definitely be easier with this immovable metal line out of the way. I'm also wondering if the Gen II uses the same fitting on the block/turbo that the Gen III uses, and furthermore if the 2jz does as well.

-3 is for ballbearings, the stock hard line is bigger than -4. its actually a good idea, the kink in the hard line is what cokes up and starves turbos and kills them

I had to use a -3 line and restricter on the 7A-FE turbo kit. the 7A has high oil pressure and caused the turbo to smoke. im using a non ball bearing turbo on my Supra and a -3 feed line. -------------------- 2001 Celica GT-S Turbo
