How to: Replace OIL LINE??
Well i bought myself an FP RED not too long ago, and just now i see online that it is strongly recommended to replace the oil line. So i just bought the FP RED oil line with filter http://store.forcedperformance.net/m...Lancer-TurboHW
and need to know how to install it?

Very simple. The oil feel line is at the top of the turbo. It connects to the right side of the head.
Unbolt the first bolt from the head. Don't drop the copper washers and put them aside with the bolt removed from the head.
If you're a dirty gear head like me, you can hold your hand around the tube and try and blow through it so that it doesn't leak like crazy when you remove it from the turbo.
Unbolt the oil line support from the turbo, (10mm) then unbolt the feed from the top of the turbo (17mm or something like that). Then, simple reverse the steps and put the new one on. The filter will be closer to the head than the turbo....

I am trying to install a loil feed line now and it keeps leaking, it had 2 copper gaskets (1 on each side of the banjo bolt) but everytime i tighten them down and start it up it is leaking like hell.
Any one know if there is only 1 copper crush gasket or 2 to install on the oil feed line?
