hey dave...
my driver side turbo oil feed line has leaked since i had the lines re-made...(i was trying to prevent any leakage problems last time i had my motor out-instead, it has been a problemever since)...
i had an issue with the fittings that the shop used with the greddy turbo banjo fitting, the fittings they used didnt allow the banjo to sit flush and tight against the turbo, instead it left a small little gap...i have taken the line off 2 times and tried to correct the fitting so that it met the turbo flush and sealed perfectly....still leaks...are you guys selling line that feed the turbos??? if so, what is the price?...i am sick of this oil leak...and sick of having to pull this feed line off (PITA to do so with the turbo on, fortunately the driver side one allows you access to the bolt on top of the turbo to remove the line-getting it back on with the two copper washers is the tough part!!!)

The spacers are available now. We have them in stock and ready to go. We are still in the development stages of the line kits. I can send out the parts for the line kit if you feel confortable assembling Braided Steel AN line. (ie-NPT to AN adaptors, 45 and 90 deg hose ends, line, and male to male adaptor for the spacer itself)

Unfortunetly Greddy uses some very specific Metric lines with reverse flares that aer not common or easy to find in the U.S. What we would need to do is convert the metric thread at the turbo and the oil pressure sensor adaptor to -03AN size and then run AN line between the two. Let me measure the threads of the banjo bolt and look at some of the space we have to work with. I can get something made up for you. The one thing though is that there may not be any real benefit. It may be faster and less expensive to get new Greddy parts. The turbos may need to come down to accomplish either option.

The line kits we are making are the return lines. I think you're looking for the feed lines?

You can. Not a problem One thing to note is that the threads on our spacer are not the same as the threads on the Tubonetics fitting. This is not an issue if you already have your factory pan tapped, but if you want to install the Tnetics fittings into our pan you will have to retap for the NPT fitting Turbonetics provides.
