russj249 2 Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 Just wondering how much hose I will need to buy to get it from the front of the engine, oil pressure switch to the back of the engine where the turbo is. Probably running around above the gearbox.Don't want loads too much, but want it to be long enough! lol Link to post Share on other sites
FishWick 21 Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 Erm, why not run a peice of wire around your chosen route and measure it? LOL! :-)I ran mine to the right off the filter housing, under the coilpack, bolted to the harness bracket with a P clip and then onto the Turbo. I'd say it's about 1.5m.Do you have experience with assembling 200 series PTFE lines and fittings? If not, I would buy a little extra anyway to factor in mistakes :-)Oh and sleeve the braided line because it will rub through any wires it touches in no time. Link to post Share on other sites
russj249 2 Posted March 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 Haha i like that.only reason i asked was because i didn't have the car to measure it lol.i've not had any experience which is why i'm getting a company to put the fittings on. hence why i needed to know the length lol.

FishWick 21 Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 Ah, that makes sense then. I assumed you were getting the bits and making the line up yourself :-)What material are the fittings they're using? I would swerve ENS (electro plated Nickel steel) as it rusts, but it's cheaper than stainless, which is imo the best material to use on such a critical component. Link to post Share on other sites
