Pulled the stock flex section off:
And, to my complete amazement, the 5/8" hose fit snugly over the ends! They must have increased the size to 16mm. I suppose there is no 15mm high temp hose in Europe?
Quick mock up to see how things line up:
And in goes the 5/8" fuel line. I'll have to search for some of that braided steel stuff in 5/8" as it sits mighty close to the exhaust manifold.
The OEM hose that came off appeared to be plastic. Teflon perhaps?

Why not use a piece of header heat wrap? You still need to shield the line from the turbo, no matter what the material, and also adding a small in line oil cooler will help too.

as long as his oil seals don't blow out that setup works perfect.

Subject: SS braided PTFE hose and ferrules
Greetings
Do you stock ferrules for swaging SS braided PTFE hose?
Where are you located?
Find somebody that has the swaging equipment and you can put it back the way it was.

What about feed? I need to make something and don't even know what threads/connection I need. I don't even have a stock line since this is from ground up for me on the Turbo engine.

Your local hydraulic hose shop will have everything needed to make the line… For the supply line, I used 5/16" brake line. The fitting at the oil cooler threaded correctly to this, and the other end I used the last 7" of a stock turbo supply line and flared the end to connect to a brake flare union.

That is my problem. I don't have any stock pieces from the turbo...I just have a turbo and I have to figure everything out rather quickly. I am not worried about the hose, I can run anything almost there what I am looking for is the ends. I need to know what ends to use on the flange and turbo.

What turbo are you talking about? The feed on my vnt is metric but it's so close to 1/8th pipe that the brass threads aren't deformed at all. 1/8th pipe goes into the filter flange just fine to.

Yup, I'm in the same boat with the T3. I don't have any of the drain/feed lines so I have to make it all up myself.

I will make you a deal
If I get the thing figured out first I will post my findings on here. If you do please do the same. THEN we can petition for this to be put in the faq so we don't have to do it again. I am going for the thread pitch gauges now.
Looks like the port on the feed side of the turbo is a 1.5 thread pitch...if it is metric which I am assuming. But it looks WAY bigger than 10mm which would be the standard for a 1.5, so it is either something else or a metric pipe thread???
