Think I've managed to buy the wrong thing again :(

Can anyone tell me what diameter pipe (internal diameter if possible) they're running oil to their turbo with?

I've bought some which was too big, but was useful for doing the wiring, and just bought some that I think is too small at 1.5mm ID.

HELP! :(

Cheers :)

Well it is and it isn't.

I've got to sort out an air box, clock the turbos, remake the takeoff for the oil feeds and oil pressure gauge as the one I did make was crap.

Then there's the down pipes and the rest of the exhaust to sort out.

Just had a measure of the bigger pipe I bought and it's just under 4mm, so I might use that with a couple of 2mm restrictors :)

Can use the smaller stuff for the pressure gauge I think so that's cheered me up! :)

Roll on the weekend, think I'll lock myself away and have 9 days straight working at it!
