Hey guys, as title says but more specifically removing the oe banjo pipe piece from turbo to "T" piece (which has the oil sensor from the other side) and placing a simple rubber oil-capable pipe. Will it be ok?:confused:
AS it is now it's bent and i'm not able to make it stip dripping oil. I heard something about copper washers being in it. Mine didn't have any so prob that's the problem but still wanted to throw it away and replace it.

there is no problem using other pipes, but in stock oil pipe to turbo there is one way valve to the turbo side which i think you should instal in your aftermarket oil pipe to prevent oil dry spots in turbo while starting the engine

Yes you're right on that. I'm trying 2 hours now to find some oil pipe braided or not at ebay, nothing, guess i'll have to manage with some rubber pipe :scared:

Dont worry about the one way valve its not needed. Best off suing a banjo fitting and proper high pressure or aeroquip fittings though, its best to do it right.
