why would you want BRAIDED lines? If the fitting is hitting AGAINST the compressor, there's probably a reason...keep the stock lines

not on a td04, but i've got a t3/t04e that i'm changing to stainless braided.

Well see I can't find any but one fitting out there and it is for a 10an fitting, and it comes right off of the turbo.
If I was able to find a fitting that was longer and cocked to the side it would be perfect.
as stated I wanted to know if anyone else has done, and how they got around it.

Also i have a 420a motor with the tdo4 turbo on it. I wanted better than stock!

theres a few swapped people using this but to make it work you cant use braided line since the braided line fittings are too bulky to fit properly. You can use pushlock/twistloc style fittings and hose (which is what others have done).

turbojonsrt4 runs -10 braided line for his return. But I don't think he uses fittings. He just slides it over the factory oil return pipe and a aftermarket piece that bolts on the bottom of the turbo and gives you a protruded piece of pipe to slide the hose on. He's had issues in the past with oil returns melting or popping off so he went this route. I've considered it myself.

Do PTFE line and get good stainless steel couplers. I have done this several times now and it looks nice with no leaks and worry free. Hit me up with a PM if you need any help.
