Ah right, cool cheers Nyk! I suspected the garage were talking crap saying it needs 1/2" - but more on that at a later date. 8)

I dont know whats wrong with me tonight keep postin things that dont make sense!! :oops:

Maxiboy- apologies above.

The feed into most turbo's is 2mm - hence most oil feed pipes are between 4 and 6mm to give increased pressure as it is forced into the 2mm diametre feed into the turbo.

KJ16v, I'm no expert, just misspent my youth around a lot of turbo's.
