Title: Garrett T3 oil lines
Post by: stewardc on May 11, 2007, 01:46:37 pm

I'm putting a T3 on my AAZ and need both oil feed and drain lines. Most sites that I can find state that a T3 has a 1/8 NPT inlet thread, but mine is a straight thread with a copper gasket. Does anyone know where I can get the right lines???

lol here I am and yep you guessed it, I have the feed line, the return line is spoken for already though. I don't know how good the line is (yet) and it is from a MK1 TD

the return line definetly won't work on a 1.9 since it's the block is taller

Good point.

The return line is low pressure but hot... I've seen various things fabbed using braided stainless steel hose.
