Default were to buy aftermarket stock oil return line

ok i need an aftermarket ss braded oil return line that will just bolt right up. i cheacked out stealth mod. but not shure if his kit will work and the fitting on ebay are 20$ each with out the braded line way to much but this is for my dsm so i need it to bolt up to my 14b turbo and then bolt in to my oil pan with no mods and to use factory gaskets


any help would be great thanks guys

You do know the oil return setup on a stock 14b has 2 flanges, one on the pan and one of the turbo, So what are you trying to do? Get a SS line and just put 2 barbs on it and attach it with hose clamps? In that case the stealthmode/tunertoys kit should be fine.

u can use anything u want to...i have seen guys going low budget and they r using
radiator lines or even something even stronger for their return lines...but the return
flange on the stock 14b, t3 can be modified so that u can slip on the hose and clamp
it down. the oil pan on the other hand, u can use plumbing fittings from any home depot or orchard supply...the flanges off ebay or stealthmode would be the cleaner setup but a bit more cost effective...
i used fittings and ss braided lines and the total cost was about 110 bucks...the low budget
way is under 40 bucks...so it all depends on u...but the kits that are for sell at stealth mode
still have to be modified(either shortening the hose or getting 90 fittings) but the kit should
be good enough for any kind of setup...

When i picked up my 14b it had no oil return line or adapter on it. I ended up scouring every place i could think of to find a stock one, but no luck. Then one day i hopped on over to the tuner toys website, and voila!...They have the adapter oil return flanges for 14b housings. Your best bet is to get one of those and use some kinda of hose line (i used AN braided for mine cause i had some laying around) to go from the adapter to the pan. Not only are they one dead-sexy piece, but they're also a decent price and save alot of headaches.
