Check with a saab importer or some of the saab forums could get lucky on a used one. A new one is about 350 shipped

I have an extra oil return line from the 1.4T. There is a good chance they are interchangeable if the 1.6T is Garrett.

I'll snap a pic and post it in the next 15...... BRB

Ignore the rust. This is the turbo that came on the Cruze engine I recently swapped for my dead engine.

Here is the oil return connection:

If you can throw up a pic, we may be able to compare them like we did the oil filter housing to confirm whether it is a match.

No hurry. It's just a small piece of the many to complete your jigsaw. But dammit, I want to see this happen as much as anyone, so I'll try my best to assist. It's high time this gets done. You realize the first turbo'd 1.8 Sonic will be internet-famous. We can't let Cruzeguys take that title. opcorn:

Looks to be the same. If you could measure how far apart the 2 bolts are. Center to center. I can confirm.

Kind of hard to read the first bolt hole. Can you "burn an inch", meaning line the 1-inch line up with the first hole, and then we will subtract an inch from the total.

I measured mine to be 1.5" from center of bolt to center of bolt. It looks the same, but we need a more definitive measurement from your end.

Took two pics

It's hard to tell from the angle of the pic if the 1" hash is indeed on the center of the bolt hole, but even still, looking from that perspective it does appear to be 1.5". I suppose I could just ship you the oil return tube for final confirmation, I would just ask that you reimburse the shipping. Which should be well less than $10.

But apparently the 1.6T uses the dipstick tube for turbo oil return, which would be a much more bolt-on method. Whereas using the 1.4T oil return tube would require you punch a hole into you oil pan to provide a location for the tube to return the oil.

I'd rather use the 1.6. I just need the part number lol :/
