Need some help in pinellas county

Needs some help with my Evo X. Just bought it and has some issues. Oil return line leaking from the turbo. I have worked on a lot of cars but this is my first Turbo.

I was wondering if there are any locals that may be able to help and if there are any good shops in the area. I am guessing that the dealer is not really an option.

I can give more details on what the problems are but first wanted to see if I can locate some local help and possibly a shop..

Don't want to drive the car as the line is not factory, AN fittings and I can not get them tight.

Thanks in advance..

Hey bud... I am no mechanic (by far), but the people on the Tampa Area Threads work on cars all the time. Some of my friends on there have Evo X's and may be able to help you. Try your questions again on that thread, you have a better chance for a response.

Strange, is there an aftermarket turbo kit on the car?

There was but was returned to "stock" But the return line is not the stock part. AN fittings. They were loose and I got them all tight but of the 2 bolts that thread into the turbo, I was only able to tighten one of them. Did not want to take the turbo out. And of course it still leaks.
