Turbo water line leaks
After several attempts, I can't get these stupid things to not leak. OEM hose, silicone hose, pushlok race hose, you name it, they all leak. I was contemplating modifying the hardlines by welding AN fittings on and running AN lines. Has anyone done this? Did you use 6an or 4an fittings and line?

I would weld, and use -6AN
i was having the same issues
I also tried the AN to hard line adapters, but failed for me...they started to leak because of the slight tolerance difference in the hard line to standard AN. JB weld and heat shrink fixed that.

Glad I'm not the only one that has experienced these unsolvable leaks...lol. Yea, I definitely wasn't going to try compression fittings, they don't like vibration too much and you really need the hard lin to be the exact right size. Thanks for your input.

Leaking where the hard from the turbo and rubber hoses meet. No leaks at the banjo bolts, I'm not that much of a 3rd grader mechanic... . In fact, the stainless Xona CHRA is probably the shiniest thing on my car lol

I've tried that, new ones of that, factory hose with worm drive clamps (the good, double wrap kind), silicone hose, push lok hose. Tried safety wire, hose clamps, you name it.
At this point, I'm over it. Gonna go with 6an stuff, weld it up, and not have anymore damn leaks.

I'm going to do AN lines while the car is down for body work.
