Official 1.8 turbo thread

[christopher.s.terry]

The oil filter housing he got from the 1.6 has an oil feed port built into it.

So I looked at my 1.4 oil feed line, and it is much shorter than the one for the 1.6 and likely won't be an option.

You may be looking into custom oil lines if you can't score one from a 1.6.

Personally I would run custom feed/ return lines with braided lines. I would think if the factory lines are hard lines u may encounter headaches. To each his own, where do u plan on tapping your oil feed from???

Thanks PRELOADER, i joined the vxr forum as well so maybe i can get some help from them. Would u have any ideas how to run the lines??

Just make your own lines its not that hard and the materials are cheap if you are talking tubing like brake lines, fuel lines. Invest in a bender and a OEM double flare tool, or use some other connector system.

I kno what use for them. I was asking more about where to feed it from. This is my first turbo build so i dont want to mess it up lol. Can i still use the oil feed off the 1.6 oil filter housing into the turbo ??

Yes use the stock oil feed from the 1.6 and use braided lines and not hardlines. Also The main issue is the drain line
