996tt Turbo oil feed - Newbie needs some help

Hello all,

New member here and new with Porsche as well.

Got a my2001 996tt.
I’m looking for the oil feed line/pipe that goes to the valve restrictor on the turbos. I believe that the current ones shown are not stock items but i’m having difficulty to find anything really. Please advise if you know where i can get these. I tried making some custom lines to exchange those but i don’t like fitment at all and i don’t want to loose an oil line in the street rendering the engine useless..

thanks for chiming in, so you confirm that these ones are not stock items..i’m not quite sure how the stock ones are?

I made some research and found out part number 15 on the parts list below. Googling the part number looks like a pipe male to male that connects between the engine and turbo valve directly, meaning no need for extra connections like what i currently have. Is that correct? Any real life pics at all?

Wish I had some pics but sold my 996TT years ago. Are the turbos on the car stock? EPL may be able to assist.

Oh i see. I got the car with borg worner turbos 996.123.014.75 which i believe are the stock turbos. I didn’t run the car though and switched to 2x alpha 28 units which i’m trying to install now but have these fitment issues and are giving me headaches..so i got the alpha aluminum turbo valves as seen on the pic but damaged small lines as seen on the pics above which you say and i agree are not the stock items

sorry who is EPL?
