Turbo Oil Feed/drain lines

I've got a custom exhaust manifold for an EVO IX turbo that has moved the position of the turbo slightly. The stock oil lines won't work so I need an aftermarket drain line with a little more length. The stock feed line would probably work, but I'd rather just replace it with a flexible line.

Does anybody offer a replacement oil feed and drain line that will work with the stock turbo?

Not that I know of. Did you try calling them? That's how I always got in touch.

Yep
Calls, Emails, voice messages, tried it all

I normally can get somebody there, but I have zero luck for the last week and need to get the parts to get the car back together.

One thing I didn't understand about the FP lines is they are way longer than need be and also my buddy is on his 2nd and they seem prone to leaking. Why FP wouldn't make the lines the right length is odd.

The feed line or the return?

The feed line needs to be long so that it can wrap around the front of the turbo. If you try to run it behind the turbo like the stock routing, you'll find the teflon lining melts and then leaks.

Yep was talking about the feed line. Thanks for the info I'll have to see how my friend has his clocked off the turbo. Your explanation might be the answer to why he has so much slack.
