Hi guys.
I have some Circuit Racing braided turbo lines, for my engine, but i have a problem routing them around the GT3071 Low mount turbo.
The oil line is fine, the problem is with the coolant lines.
Both lines lenght is ok, the problem is the Angle of the fittings.
On the Turbo side, both have a 90 Deg fitting, but on the side that goes to the block, they both have a Streight fitting.
I would need them to have something like a 45-30 Deg fitting, instead.
No i was thiking of gettig some Earl's lines and fittings, and simply build the lines myself.
Problem is i never did this before, so i am not sure what parts to get.
First of all, what size are these lines ? Are they AN6 or AN8 ?
The OD of the hose's i meassured to about 14mm, if this helps.

The other thing i want to do, is tap the valve cover, for AN10 fittings, to the crank breather hose, and Catch can.
On the Crank breather hose i have already welded an AN10 fitting.
Now i need to Tap an fittings to the valve cover.
I would preffer not to have the welded to the Cover.
Can anyone tell me, what size tap do i need to have made to the valve cover ?
If anyone did any of this, and can share some info, i would apritiate it.
Thanks.
