Yea... It kind of on the bottom of the list, since premix seems to be doing a decent job.

Looks good but I'd like to see how the route. SS lines do not do good rubbing against other stuff.

They should be fairly loose, I dont see where they would rub.

Yea I did for a little bit, I kept forgetting to pick it up at the store! I'm still running 1 oz per fillup, she loves it.

I'm only pulling in about 240g/s though, which isn't too bad but not like the 250-260 I was seeing.

Well they have to come together on the front cover to run down to the OMP. Might be a non issue, but I have seen nitrous lines wear through over time, especially against aluminum or plastic.

Yep... assuming I can find someone to make the lines for me the way I want.

And also assuming I don't blow and apex seal between now and then and can reuse everything but my housings.

Yep, just need the measurements. Hydraulic supply actually specializes in custom SS brake lines as well.

Awesome...

I mean it would be easy enough to do it. I would just need a brass Y fitting, for the third injector.

I've put allot of thought into it.

You think the oil would flow even to both injectors with a "Y" ?

Not sure yet... Just trying to see how complicated I can make my build.

But a V-band would make like a million times easier removing the turbo in the future. plus I think it would flow better....

It cost quite a bit to have a new down pipe fabricated with V bands on it. It would make life a lot easier though for removal.
