FP Green water/coolant line

i know FP Green turbo uses stock water/coolant line, but the OEM piece is shiet. the coolant seal on the turbo water line was "deformed" and caused a leak on my STOCK turbo. so im wondering if theres aftermarket one for this turbo?

No. The FPGreen utilizes the OEM coolant lines and stock copper crush washers. It's likely that your previous negative experience with the stock pieces was just an anomoly. If you were running the VIII turbo, you should buy new IX lines (and new crush washers) anyway. I haven't seen any other reports of leaking OE turbo parts.
