i know but there around £50 or a little pipe

i may take it down to a hydraulic place and see if they can make me one

butjust thought that one on ebay may be worth having but a bit curious because its a bigger diameter pipe

Pipes with swaged ends are always cheaper than those with compression type fittings. Personally, I can't see why you would need a larger diameter oil-feed. Alot of ball-bearing applications can actually stand alot less oil-flow to the turbo.

No need for larger bore at all.


Best to fit a 2wd setup, as cleaner better flow than a 4wd.

That will be fine and flow NO MORE OIL anyway as the smallest diametre/largest restriction is still there ie the internal pipe size a the ends/fittings.
It will do perfectly.
