CA18DET Braided Turbo Lines

[KillboSlaggins]

Hi all,

I'm taking my turbo and manifold off my s13 soon as the bolts have come loose and they're impossible to get to thanks to f***ing locking tabs. May as well replace the oil/water lines while I'm there for some new braided jobbies but I can't seem to find anywhere that does a complete set. Driftworks have discontinued theirs and the only other place I can find is japspeed but they're £100 just for lines and washers which seems a bit steep.

Saw this set on ebay and thought it was good value, just not sure if anyone has had any experience with "Mamba" at all? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Turbo-Oi...692376?hash=item3f9fc90a58:g:O2EAAOSw94Ba6muK

Any guidance would be appreciated
Cheers

Mamba stuff is fine, but that oil line has a 1mm restrictor which IIRC the standard journal bearing turbo doesn't want.
Might wanna check if that restricor is removable.

Okay thanks man good to know, and I thought the same with the restrictor so I googled a diagram which shows they do use a restrictor but different Ø depending on different turbos?

The images on ebay show them as a separate inserts to the hose I think but I'll take my hose off first and see what I currently have before ordering.

Cheers!

If you want to double check here's a way to measure the oil flow yourself:
