Oil Return Line....help...

**Avant1.8BT** · 08-30-2008 05:38 PM

I recently just did a motor swap with a new built motor because my old motor blew up. when it blew part of my block damaged my oil return line, i call up atp turbo and ordered a return line for my 2871r elim turbo and they sent me a braided stainless line and im not sure how it connects to my turbo/oil pan. one end is just a fitting and the other end has an adapter so it looks like it will line up to the oil pan or the turbo but for the other end im not sure what to do? it seems like they want me to tap my oil pan and just screw in the fitting? any help...

they messed up - it happens pretty often - that is why i don't deal with them call joe at axis motorsport - or anyone but atp

the one side you have a fitting is to the pan the other side is just nothing - you need a gt28 adapter

ditto.

happened to me twice already with just simple orders, missing parts or wrong ones.

won't ever use them again.

thanks guys, what should they have sent me? some one mind posting a pic and its the 2nd time they messed up my order. first time i took my car apart at a friends went to install my big turbo and they sent me the wrong one and i had to rock oem for 6 months. sucked.

and a 45 deg bend to the turbo

and the fitting you have goes into the pan

this is what the other end should look like - and they should have given you a longer line so you can cut to length -
