Default Do i have 2 use braided oil lines?- and another question.

i went 2 the hydraulic store 2day to get some silicone and other **** like oil lines. i was talking 2 the guy and he told me that i could use this blue line that he had which is rated @ 250degree's, and 70psi. instead of the braided stuff. i was just wondering if you guys knew if i could use it or not.




LAst.

Also. i dont know which side is the inlet for the oil in the turbo. like which way is in and which way is out. i bought the turbo and it had 2 fittings. one is a 6an barb'd fitting comming outta one side and the other is a 90degree fitting comming outta the other side, is a 1/4npt flare fitting male. if yall know this it would be much aprecciated 2.

Thanks

Oil temperatures can easily reach over 250 degrees. I would use hard lines for as much of the run as possible and them use a short section of teflon lined braided hose for the rest of the system.

The small hole is the oil in, the big hole is the return/drain.
