Replace the oil returm line with JIC fittings and braded line

If you're still making these, I'd like a set for my FC. I can mail you the stock return pipe to make your patterns. I'd like to stick with -8 though, as the stock pipe design is closer to a -12 ID, and a -8 will fit just fine on an FC.

To make a long story short, I recently did the RA oil metering pump adapter mod, which imposed a re-route of the stock oil return line. Picked up some cheapo flanges on ebay with -10AN male fittings that fit the turbo & front cover. Managed to plumb up a functional -10 return line using those, but the quality of these 1 piece machined AL flanges is terrible; they eventually get loose and leak.
