did u guys use braided oil lines? also my real question was how did u run the oil lines? also are any of ur cars turbo timed??

You don't need a timer, just let it idle before you shut it down if you've been under boost.

For oil lines I used some blue stuff ... some folks plumb with braided, some with brake line and banjos, some with dinky rubber. Make a wise choice.

I seem to be the only one of us running a restrictor ...

For the oil feed I Tee'd off the oil sender sensor and for the return i tapped into my oil pan....used steel braided lines.

How long though?

Long enough to cool things, not long enough to wake the neighbors. 30 seconds, a minute ... be sure to throw your fans on while you sit, though.

is anyone here plannin on doing rebuild and big boostin?? cuz i plan on doing the preparation for the rebuild along with the turbo installation in the stock car. By this is mean, heavy duty fuel sys (including big injectors), and working with the ECU. My bro's turbo DSM's ECU is controlled by his handheld pc. He can see everything goin on with long term and short term fuel pressures and oil pressures etc, boost graphs while doing a run. Does anyone plan on doing this?
