I dont know if this is a common problem people have but last night it took my brother in law and I almost 2 hours to put the dam oil return line that goes into the block. It would wine in half way then it would stop , that stupid thing!! Anyways we manage to get the back line in and said that would be it for the night. Will be attempting the other half tonite .. So my question i guess is do people experience this aswell? Or is it a matter of getting it at the right angle

Which oil return line? front or back or both?
Did you buy new hoses? Much easier when brand new! They are soft and can be squashed into place.. If your trying to use the original ones which have gone hard, 95% of the time you will split them anyways upon removal or re-installation...
Very cheap to buy at about $55 for both, and this alone saves alot of time! takes no more than 10 minutes to install 2 new ones

Yeah Nickel, I had the same problem as you with that annoying bolt. Just try to get the round bit on the end to sit flush/flat with the block by itself before putting the bolt in. Don't forget them crappy copper washers, they never want to stay there.

For the love of god, please replace those rubber pipes! I had mine leak, and really the only way to get them both on and off it to take the turbos off again. Something that you really don't want to do.

Hey Chris I got both the GcG highflow steelies and dumpipes. And yes them copper washers are a pain in the arse to. Sometime i wonder if goin single would have been much easier.

There should be a Rubber hose that connects that Pipe to the Unit on the Block... Replace the rubber hoses! They are as soft as vaccum lines when new, So you can install the Supply/oil Lines on the turbo and the Unit ont he Block. Then slip the new rubber pipes in!

Ahh, Bolt it loosley onto the turbo 1st and then onto the block!
Trick is to leave the actual turbo's Loose or not bolted up to allow some movement Be careful with those pipes as it is easy to bend them and flatten them which restricts oil flow.
