Just a warning to others.
I installed the following ebay kit in hope of improving reliability (do away with rubber hoses):
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Turbo-Oil-feed-Return-Line-TOYOTA-1JZ-GTE-Twin-CT12A-/270842080082?pt=AU_ Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3f0f722b52

But it ended up costing me time and money. The kit is not designed correctly because the oil return lines don't allow the oil to drain from the turbos quick enough. Causing it to pool around the shaft causing a big smoke screen!

I quickly reverted back to stock setup with new rubber hoses and all is well again.

Hey ross. I got these aswell. Long before this post. And only got my car running recently and have the same trouble. I have to play with it more but i think the oil return hose ( the big one) is too long. I sent them an email and they said they are going to remake the kit and send me one. Maybe email them aswell and tell them you problem. I believe the hose diameter needs to be bigger and the length is too long causing the oil to not travel straight down.

They told me to send them back for a refund. I did just that but they keep telling me they haven't received them and won't refund my money.
My fault for not using registered post. Just a warning to others to stay clear of these morons!

I wish I had seen this a year ago.

I fitted new exhaust dump pipes a year ago. In doing so, I loosened the front turbo for more wiggle room. I ended up cracking the return line hose in doing so.

So I bought the braided ebay kit. WORST MISTAKE EVER.

I have had nothing but trouble ever since. Plumes of smoke from turbos. I even removed my turbos and rebuilt them both.

Anyway, I got some stock lines from Ross this week! Currently fitting them, so hopefully once theyre in my oil smoke problems will have gone.

I took a photo of the stock vs aftermarket return line hole diameter in the flanges, so you can see how they are way too small.

Cheers again Ross for the new lines.
