Best of doing it yourself, wander down to couplers in malaga and they'l sort you out with all the bits you need to make them up.

i won't :P mmm its cause i live in canningvale and couplers is in malaga *sighs* mmm pirtek is close tho so id prob pop into pirtek with all the banjo bolts off from teh block side and just bring the turbo in and get them to make the new line mmm would i need a new oil line as well? atm i got an oil line looks to be in quiet good condition

If you make them yourself I imagine you can get away with it for about 350 using quality speedflow gear including the oil line, been a while since I did mine so I cant remember the actual prices.

Either way your on the right track, remove the fittings from the block and take the turbo down, saves them trying to guess what sort of fittings they need to match up with. Its up to you if your stick with the banjo's or not.

I tend to use cheap rubber hose to mock up the lines first to make sure the lengths are right, nothing like having a hose thats 1" too short.

Just adding it up~

I got 2 lines made up by enzed, and supplied another 2 lines (oil feed and return). Total was $450. Enzed made a 50cm braided line for $150 I think.

Hope this helps.
