you cant use the oil feed line because there is no way you can modify the hard line so it can accept the restrictor fitting...

you can use the coolant feed but you will have to bend it in ways it doesnt want to be bent

you can use the coolant and oil return just fine though ...

dont bend your lines...you may make a small kink in it and could restrict oil or coolant to your turbo. Its possible if you just be careful with it. I would just spend the 100 some dollars for stainless lines. Easier install also.

160$, small price to pay considering if your hardlines break while driving like mines did and your new 800$ turbo goes out you would have wished you bought some 160$ braided lines.

shouldnt matter... but seriously just pay 50$ more for the taka ones...i dont know about circuit sports but they should be just as good. wait for some one else to chime in though...

looks like the circuit sport ones are using the obsolete banjo fitting as opposed to the direct screw in with the taka lines...thats the only difference i can spot
