Couldnt you get some braided PS lines from Jegs or Summit ?


possibly! i removed the lines, need to take them to the store to figure out what size and threading they are.......i have no clue, i figured i would take them to a place that works on high pressure hoses and see what they suggest.....im planning 100% to have them re-routed away from the pipe for sure!

Two things that will never leave my car is the power steering and power brakes... We are talking aprox. 10 hp between them both.. JMO. Good luck!

My buddy Kevin came down and showed me how to use the line bender.....turned out great, so now there is PLENTY of room for the turbo pipe! there are 2 power steering lines that where in the way, a long one and a short one....so we moved the long one to where the short one was and that gave us plenty of slack to rebend out of the way.....so know I just got to get 1 line extended 14 inches! i got one spot where the up-pipe is hitting the oil pan, so i just have to ding that section in with a hammer to gain some clearance!

call me a wuss but p/s, p/b, and a/c is a must...
The only reason I have no A/C is do to the crank support I built and I didn't allow for the compressor. After things are running good I will swap the spacers on the support to others that are 1/2 bigger and the A/C will be back in business.

If you go to napa they have various sizes and lengths straight tubing with flared ends and tube nuts already installed. You can just find a length that will work and bend it to your needs. They may not have it since it may be metric, but it would be easier than extending the other line.
