Oil and Coolant line turbo alternatives, do they exist?

When uninstalling my GC turbos i noticed something that caused me to waste a few ours on the uninstall which will also cost me on the re-install as well. These stock lines are very location specific and dont have much room for manovering and there not exactly easy to remove from the turbo or the block.

I couldnt seem to find anything that would allow me to run my own coolant or oil lines other than this which isnt exactly enough or what im looking for.

Does anyone know if there is a kit that exists out there for this type of modifcation? The reason why I want to do this is to decrease the install/reinstall time encase i ever need to get down to the turbos again. I wasted a few hours just trying to remove these stock hoses from the turbos and the block and it would be nice if i could find something that can be unscrewed from the turbos for an easy disconnect/reconnect.

We offer all of the custom fittings to make custom lines, so keep that in mind when I say that OEM lines fit OEM style turbos like a glove and you're not going to find anything that fits any better IMHO.

So you should not need anything else- just clean them up very VERY well (use brake parts cleaner and compressed air) and reinstall with new O-Rings.

I was just looking for a more easier way to install/uninstall but I guess it sounds like the oem ones are really good to where that small amount of effort isn't that bad.

I just need to find a good guide on how to reinstall them on the turbos.
