the return is -10an.
the rubber lines will harden and crack over time from the heat. i helped a friend replace his a few weeks ago. they looked alright but when we flexed them, the split. no worries on this one.

I'm just lazy. I only wanted to do it once, and not have to worry about it for 60K miles...and stuff and junk.

i'm using aircraft grade, mil-spec aluminum tubing. the tubes are probably ~ 4" each, far enough away from the turbo to keep the rubber lines from cracking. i don't want to use SB on the coolant lines because of where they run and their abrasiveness. maybe down the road, i'll consider it...when i make SB fuel lines. swapping SB on the coolant lines will be a snap with teh AN fittings.
that's a t25r (gt2554r), it's not that big of a turbo.
the actuator mount is from ATP turbo. i didnt' know if it was going to work with my compressor orientation, but is worked perfectly. i'm happy with it.
