• 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!
