Lossing alot of oil from turbo oil return lines

Just checked the site , it seems that kit is only usable for when you add their oil spacer. E mailed them so I guess I will see. Has anyone else had this problem and have you done anything about it ?

the end of the lines are constantly submerged in oil, and the supplied hose clamps will lose tension and leak. some fab work is involed, but you can upgrade to better lines and fittings. but, usually, retightening of the clamps will keep the leaks at bay.

Not sure if AAM any spacers in stock. but you could always use a JWT spacer, and drill and tap for these lines..take a look.

I used the original Greddy hose with some heat wrap on it for super long and never had a problem. (like 20,000 miles or something, which I guess isnt even that long).
But anyway, I replaced them this year with some better hose because they were starting to get ugly being on the bottom of my engine for so long.
All you need is about 1' per side of hose, and you will still cut it down. Stainless braided is not needed, and using hose clamps with it is nasty.
Aeroquipt has a very nice blue pushlock hose, and in its -10 size is a perfect fit to replace the Greddy lines. I use that hose, and its actually such a nice fit that I ran it for a little while this year without any clamps at all and no leaks from those hoses, but I just put clamps on it anyway the other day and would recommend that anyone else did as well.
This blue aeroquipt hose that I speak of is extremely high quality stuff. I use it for inside the gas tanks in the fuel return kits because it actually stands up to full submergion in gasoline.

Thats 6' of it, which is more then you need. But thats better anyway. While it goes on nice and doesnt leak, its pretty hard to pull it off. You would rather just cut it and put on a new hose if you ever had to take them off, so extra would be nice.
