hi mate, i went to a hydrolics company and they sold me

2xM12x10mm banjo bolts and copper washers,

also i got 2 14mmx1/2" fittings for hoses,

the only problem i had was the pipes were so close to the turbo they got hot and perished, so when i changed the pipes i put goodridge wrc 1inch heat sheild around them near the turbo, worked a treat!

You will be ok to run the turbo without the pipes while you are soucring new ones, just remember to put a pipe in place to join the pipe ends together

I did this when mine broke one day while giving it some serious shit.

Have you thought of making your own, solder copper pipes onto your banjos.....
