I've considered that idea many times. The only way that I would use hard lines is if I use reverse flare fittings and use a lockwire on the nut. It's just easier to get steel braided hoses and normal flare fittings. It's a little tough to get reverse flare fittings to adapt to 1/4 or 1/8 pipe thread.

Remeber bro, the I.D. of the supply line cannot be too wide. Too much oil (volume/pressure) going to your turbo can shorten the life span of your turbo shaft seal. The more oil you supply to the turbo the quicker the oil should drain. Otherwise, you will blow smoke all over the place. Oil supply should be just right...... later bro....

BTW, how's the progress on the LS swap doin?
