people who have made a turbo return line,

what did you make it from? mine will have to run through the manifold to the sump i have a normal flanged fitting with a 19mm stub on it, can i just run a braided line down what temps can braided oil line withstand?

I made an exit tube from the turbo (only about 3" long) from scrap steel tube welded to a homemade flange to bolt to turbo drain, then used a bit of rubber hose to connect to another bit of steel tube welded to the sump.

I have a 3inch pre-built outlet in steel (fairly wide bore) and then pipe it with rubber oil hose to the sump.

The first bit is quite close to the hot bit of the turbo on mine.

Yes you can use a braided line. But if its passing the exhaust manifold then its worth fitting a heat shield wrap over it or the manifold
