I bought just the oil return, fit fine

 

so far so good then, i just dont wanna waste the money to find out they dont line up at all

 

When I put a td-04 in a cse I had 8 years ago I had to buy the real water return line from saab. It was $90. This kit looks great. it looks like you get everything included.

 

I recently just got this kit. I'll quote miked on it "good lines bad bolts". just use your original hardware when installing these lines.

 

the hardware that comes with the kit kinda sucks,, they upped the head size on all the banjo bolts, so you cant fit a socket in around them on install. Still a great deal, years ago im pretty sure the oil return line for a tdo4 was 120$ by itself

 

I just ordered a set of these. Just recently picked up a 97 Aero, needs a little love but I can't wait to get into it. Right now it needs a front right fender (rot), other than that the body is in pretty damn good shape and most everything works. 300k miles on it, two owner with over 18k in service records from Mecca Motors in Allston Ma from 167k miles on.
I'm going to remove the turbo, unstick the seized wastegate from the inside since I'm not having much luck from the outside with PB Blaster (did get it freed up a little but not enough). I know the turbo's good, no smoke and that thing makes plenty of boost. Going to replace the exhaust manifold gasket and put new studs in too while I'm at it. Need to get my hands on some new turbo to downpipe studs just in case, the bolt heads looks pretty rusted.

Anyway, cool to see some of you enthusiasts are so close. I'll let you guys know how they turn out.

 

I purchased this exact kit last week. The lines are decent, and the bolts fit fine, but yeah, they are a pain in the ass because of the head design.

Also, there is no oil feed/supply line, and finding one has been hell. Im still on the hunt....

But all the seals that come in it are decent and will work just fine.

 

i am finishing mine (91 9000) this weekend im using earls 6an swivels and aeroquip lines. the only downside is they are aluminum. ill repost if they are decent

 

be warned,, 91s 9000s have the oil return in a differnt spot on the block, i know the one that comes wit this kit will not work

 

yes you cant find a kit for 91's thats why they are made from scratch and there is not much to choose from out there

 

yeah if you know where i can find a good return line that would work on my td04, let me knowww

 

are 91 and 93 the same or no? cause i may have a 93 laying around if i can find it

 

Has anyone used this kit? How'd you like it?
Just picked up an td04 from an aero and will fit it to my cse soon...

Turbo Oil Water Line Install Kit Saab 9000 Aero 2 3T TD04HL 15T TD04HL 15g | eBay

 

I would avoid that one,cause it's Kinugawa.I just bought 2 sets of adapter washers for GT17-td04 swap:

ADAPTER WASHERS BANJO BOLTS M14 -> M12 Saab GT17 to TD04HL

and what I got was: 4 of these:

COPPER CRUSH WASHERS ID 14mm / 6 PACK

still might work...phone rings then goes to a busy signal,no response to email from thier site or regular email,or paypal.

apparently they just send whatever they feel like sending.

 

That is the one I would buy, much easier to fit than the rigid pipes.

 

i am still on the hunt for an oil feed line for my old block. you can't find the original hard lines anywhere.

I looked at that kit and wasn't sure it would work on a 91-93. I also don't need any of the other lines.

 

this is said feed line for an older block.

 

^ anybody have one of these???

 

Isn't that the oil return line?

 

no the line that is shown behind the block going to the turbo

 

I NEED THE LINE IN RED

 

Bumping an old thread instead of starting a new one...

One of my current issues is the stock turbo lines. I'm honestly surprised they still hold pressure just by the looks of them, New England winters have been none too kind to them.

At any rate, what's the best route? Hard lines? Braided? eBay kit? Of course eeuro has nothing in terms of lines for the turbo, and it seems like people haven't really been too satisfied with kinugawa. I'd hate to just waste my money and still have my crappy lines on there in the end...

 

Actually,eeuro does carry the turbo lines,they have them listed in a td04 9-5 kit.

SKU for the lines: 55559431 for the inlet,and 55559428 for the return.I have em saved to "my projects".

I will never,ever buy anything from kinugawa again.they were unresponsive to emails through their site,regular email,and didn't answer the phone during business hours.I had to do a paypal dispute to get my 25 bucks back for the wrong washers they sent,and they didn't respond to paypal either.
