| I have been looking for a few things to clean up my build before dropping my motor back in and came across the silicone hose lineup Z1 has. I am looking at the turbocharger oil return hose (to the pan). Courtesy lists the part as number 15198 at $23.93 each. Z1 offers the pair, in silicone, for $18. But looking around more I came across their oil return line kit for BB turbos. Seen here: [[ http://www.z1motorsports.com/product_info.php?cPath=6_541&products_id=3054&osCsid=fc99be289b26feac379fd667cdbf73f4 ]]
They claim that using the OEM lines, and the spacers supplied by JWT (I'm running 700's) that they are prone to leaking and make for a pieced together install. Has anyone installed this product and put some miles on it? Or can anyone comment on their OEM/JWT install - problems? My only concern is that they use a O-ring instead of the OEM flat gasket. I was under the impression that both ends of a part needed to be machined to accept and O-ring for a leak-free mating surface...? Am I thinking too much? Lastly, is anyone running their oil cooler silicone lines? Any complaints/opinions? Thanks for any input.
