Well I am in the process of installing my 35R kit but had a question about the water lines. I know you are supposed to bend them and reuse the stock lines but the line coming off the front of the turbo seems really short without doing some serious bending. How much can you bend the lines without cracking or breaking the metal? Do most people just buy longer rubber lines?

 

Thats what i did. I went to a hydraulic shop and had them make some fittings. On my old 35r kit

 

Places like that probably arent open on the weekend. Where else carries rubber hose that would work for water lines? Do regular auto-parts places carry them?

 

I bet using some bling -an fittings and line would work. I know allot of our auto parts have them.

 

I just bent the lines to fit the turbo, it was real easy and didn't need too much adjustment.

 

advance auto parts...get fuel rubber line....cut to the right langth

 

here is a link of my install pics dyno and best practices that helped me during my BR 35r install hope this helps...



Make sure you tighten oil retun line completly every bolt ......

i used a 90 deg. fitting and longer rubber tubing.worked fine. i just went to pep boys and bought coolant line tubing.

 

Thanks guys. I bent it alittle more but am still about 3" short of the stock tube. Also didnt realize I needed a 3"-2.5" couple fore my BR intercooler, oh well, trip to the auto-store tomorrow.
