I bought this: https://www.rtmracing.com/xcart/product.php?productid=17496&cat=1939&page=1 and no matter which way I configure it I can't get the hose to not kink. I even cut off the outside barb (1 of 3) off the connectors to give the hose more room to flex and tried many different hose lenths (had to get more hose lol)but still can't get it to not kink. Can anyone give some advise or a pic if you have one installed? My turbo is a small 16g. I'm getting close to saying frack it and tossing it out for an oem one but i'm newborn poor. It just seems like the oil pan connection doesn't turn sharp enough to make it work.[Linked Image]

A steel braided sleeve might be helpful. Or one those coils that help it from kinking.

I found the only way to get it to work actually requires straight fittings at both ends. You can make a tighter bend with a straight end than you can with the 45 degree off the oil pan.

Cutting one of the barbs off also helps if you're doing this with pushlock. If you want to go with a braided line, I suggest nylon over stainless. I've been able to make tighter bends with it.

Edit: Just noticed you already did the "cut a barb off" trick smile

You need a 90 degree off the oil pan, it looks like you only have a 45. I had the same issue because I made the mistake of ordering the wrong end... And I had the same problem.
