Oil Return Line?

[DjWrek_SC]

Could anyone help me with where this is, how to replace it, and where to get it.  I think its the reason for me getting neagtive boost only when reevin it up, it runs bad when you do that, and lots of smoke from the exhaust.  Im hopeing this is the problem.
thanks,

It comes out the bottom of the turbo and goes straight across going down at an angle. It connects just above the starter. Pull the airbox to turbo hose off and you should be able to see it easily.

To replace your Oil return line, go down to a local place that makes hydraulic hoses and tell them that you need a 5/8 inch by 12 inch ID oil return hose for a turbo they will get you the right stuff, it will cost 5 to 8 dollars. the piece you need is 10 1/2 inches long, after you remove your old one, cut the new one to the same length. If you can't find any send me $12 and I'll 3 day you a 1 foot piece. 8.50 hose + 3.50 shipping. (I use a good quality hose that costs me $8.50 a foot and I have to drive 45 miles 1 way to get it!!!) the oil return line comes from the bottom of the turbo and goes back into the front/right side of the engine block just above the Starter. It is a black hydraulic line and there are only 3 lines coming from the turbo, it is the only nonmetallic one it has clamps on both ends(its easier to take out the air filter box and it's hoses also take off the intercooler metal pipe and the rubber hose that goes into the turbo to get to where the Oil return line clamps to the turbo).it takes some feeling around but you'll get it take it off of the block side first,then slide it the rest of the way off, then look inside and you'll see if theres a separation.
