Hi, does anyone know if you can modify standard oil feed/drain lines to braided sections of hose? This would make removal a bit easier I think? Also if you were to drill thread out of the Y shaped pipe between the turbos and run bolts to hold turbos on wouldn't this help in removal of turbos later? You could actually take them off one at a time? Maybe this is crazy talk but when I removed my turbos for the first time this week I was thinking the whole time this could be a lot easier if.......?

when i installed my lews dumps i removed all the studs, and the dumps slipped out and put the new dumps in without having to remove the turbos. Very easy.

Also replaceed the studs with hightensile bolts as well, so its a simple matter of removing 8 bolts and they slide out now :-)

I know how I will be putting it back... In a way that it makes them easy to get off.....
