I installed a "bolt on" Aps ss45 turbo. Had to change all oil and coolant lines. Oil lines i had made by Pirtek, and coolant lines i made myself.

What sort of turbo you looking to install ?

Garrett GT2876R. My biggest hold up atm is the oil supply. Can I have some details on your oil lines, more specifically, fittings used to connect to the standard turbo oil supply?

For your oil line, this is the quickest and cheapest way to do it. Found this after i did mine. Has the fittins to bolt to the stock oil line on the heads.
