heads up injector oil lube turbos

[wellfed777]

hey all
so i ran my silber kit all last season with vented side panels with no issues
(then i got into a wreck and broke a panel )

this season i bought a new take off panels with no vents

i've been riding super deep snow lately
and the oil supply line from injector to turbo started to melt and fall off SCARY! fireball???

i have mine wrapped with the plastic protective sleave and the heat tape around that
from what i can tell the brass fitting is getting so hot that
it's melting the tubing

i think the fix would be different tubing material
or a fitting that extended farther away from the
super hot exhaust housing
or a big vent on that side (might be enough)
my hillside fix has been to cut the end end off the tubing
and re install oil line
not sure if any other kits are prone to this
but do yourself a favor and keep an eye on it
happy new years

Well some one else has this trouble also I was told I was the only one. Have silbur turbo also and have had issues with waste gate hose spilting I think it's from heat also.

 

[wellfed777]

I've never had the waste gate line

Do you have vents ?

 

[revrider07]

No vents. It might just been bad hose but it happened in first 150 miles. I see slp has sleeves for this. Going to get some. I'm looking at vent kits any recommendations? Looking at Steele braided brake line might be a replacement for the first foot.
