Oiling for compound turbos
« on: February 20, 2016, 03:23:45 am »
Hey guys,

I'm in the process of piecing together a compound turbo setup and I'm wondering about how I should run the oil lines. Do you think it would be better if I t'd off the main line and routed it to both turbos or should I run two seperate lines from the oil filter bracket. My oil filter housing has the hole for the turbo oil line plus two holes for pressure senders however I'm only using one so the other just has a plug in it. I could use that second one for a seperate line to the other turbo. Which would be best?

Extra tall banjo bolt and stack em would be my suggestion - use a couple universal braided oil feed lines. Or run to a fixed oil rail block with a couple ports on it. Avoid in line tees...

That's a good idea, and idea where I'd find an extra tall banjo bolt?

Not sure off hand where but they are a common enough thing. Hydraulic supply shops would probably be a good source.
