I took both end fittings and a measurement to a local hose shop and got a nice new custom braided stainless line.

I bought mine from the dealership.
Think it was about $130 or so,
and $150 for the feed line.

The feed can easily be replicated with an aftermarket T3 feed line kit,
and a M1X10 adapter.

The drain is not so lucky:
If you have ever gotten your own eyes on it,
no aftermarket kit works...

are the k24 and T3 returns the same?

Custom stainless braided feedline - $35
Custom braided stainless drain line - $65

And those are CANADIAN dollars.

I got an even better deal.....I welded a pipe fitting to the oil pan and onto the flange for the turbo....then I went to a hose shop and $25CDN later I walked out with a 3/4 inch I.D. stainless hose.

out of stock though... how inconvenient!

dealer price on this item is outrageous... custom is the way to go!
