Were the specs I listed accurate?
1) Thread and connector size into the Mitsubishi Block = M10 x 1.25 ? (plenty of clearance, uses M10 washers)
2) Thread and connector size into the Garrett GT3076R bolt on turbo center cartridge = M11 x 1.0 ? Stock Evo X Turbo may be M12 x 1.25 ? (Somewhat space sensitive since my tubular manifold is about 3-4" above the threads, width wise the connector shouldn't be much wider than the banjo bolt currently in use. Uses M12 washers, 10mm 6 -point head, 18mm diameter cap to allow crush washers to seat against, body is 12mm diameter where as the threads are about 11mm diameter, overall Banjo bolt length is 35mm with the restrictor hole placed 21mm above the bottom of the bolt.)

if you have a local hydraulic shop, they should be able to build you hard line w/ a small flexible section on the end to relieve the stress. I never did like stainless braided lines near the turbo because you have to make sure the lines don't rub - the engine movement has the habit of turning the lines into a saw.
Kinda like the pic in the middle, but made mostly out of SS hard line w/ a small SS Braided Teflon on the end to relieve the stress.
If you are in Socal (near Upland, CA), you can go to Bonaco (http://www.bonacoinc.com/) - they made me custom hard lines before and it was fairly cheap.

hey hiboost...
it almost happened to me too but i was very careful dring the 2d time of taking the turbo in and out.
FP has a SS oil feed line for sale on what you are looking for !
search on ebay, there is a supplier who has oem and SS option too.
another thing to note, if you are using the stock oil feed line again, be very careful with the O-ring (from turbo --> engine block) during installation. I tore the 0-ring apart ! luckily i have some spare o-rings laying around.
i know that we all know this but i think i have to repeat it, lube the o-ring generously and slowly wiggle it in smoothly and double check before you lock those 2 little bolts.
ah.... keep the turbo and lines well lube'd before starting the car and have a good few cranks before firing her up again.
sorry to be long & winding around on your topic but it's a PITA to take the turbo in and out again.
GL & keep us posted & just sharing some experiences
btw, why did you pull your turbo out ?

So it's been some time since I last posted about this oil feed line, but does anyone know for certain what fitting we need on the turbo supply side? I'm installing my turbo into a friend's car next weekend and need to find out the exact specs and make sure it has a similar restrictor, although there might already be a restrictor inside the turbo center housing.
When I last measure it the line needed to be 20-22" long
M10 x 1.25 on the block side
M11 x 1.0 was closest to metric spec on the turbo side, could it be a 7/16 x 24?
Any help out there is much appreciated guys,
Thanks!
