I'm in a bit of a pickle when i took the turbos off the oil return rubber hoses broke into pieces and are unusable agan. where can i get a replacement? i went to enzed and they done have hose in the right size. as well i think the stock hose has a 45degree kink in it so its hard to replace?
i have also lost the gaskets that go inbertween the turbos and the dump. what can i use to replace them? or where can i get replacements? thanks! n

Hey man, good to finally meet you on the weekend!
Tried pirtek, or anyone else?
Any hose joint should be able to make you a hose with the requiered bend in it. Other than that, a wrecker, Mr T, another unsuspecting TT when no one is looking...

Apparently you are not supposed to use radiator hose. I broke an oil hose elbow (perhaps the same as yours) of my oil return line when replaced the turbos a few months back and used radiator hose, it is holding up fine as it is not under pressure.

James just make sure you don't have any kinks in the hose after it is fitted. and just do a check on it in a months time the original hose is silicon. to withstand the heat from the turbo. good luck mate.
