are you talking about the metal piece that attaches to the pan or the hose? TGPilot should be able to help you with getting the return hose..

Also could try ATPTurbo, slightly more expensive IIRC. 5/8" OD I think. You want silicone.

yea its the metal piece that bolts to the oil pan...

What exactly are you doing to the engine?

Just doing a rear main seal and changing the cam, nothing extremely exiting, Also doing suspension work and body work ...new axles, wider tires. My tranny is going to get trashed....ill have to worry about that after next year.

i didn't really like the hose i got from ATP. it worked fine, but it would "sweat" oil.

Talk to Kenny- he has oil return pipes that work great. I've had mine on my TGP for a year now with no complaints. Doesn't sweat or ever leak.

josh mine sweats a little oil as well, but I assume it was normal because even the old stocker always had a film on it. I just assume it's because of the setup, most turbo's that I've seen other than this one have some sort of higher end return system, maybe SS or something with fittings on it at least, not just worm clamps.

But it was better than it smoking in the bank drive through lane.. :laugh:
