So the history goes…

Turbo oil feed inlet pipe leaking oil; I read some great posts in this forum and installed the mamba flexi pipe.

1st time it was unsuccessful as I think I under torque the banjo at the block side, so I went back in to re-torque it.

2nd time, I read the mamba oil restriction banjo bolt may cause oil starvation, so I guess it wouldn’t hurt installed the original…

and… the bolt snapped when I test start the car

now… how the heck can I get that out?

The banjo bolt shouldn't cause any issues if fitted correctly I've changed a few & did one on these engines its critical the bolt is positioned true to the thread otherwise its doomed to failure unfortunately

I have a dilemma with the Mamba feed pipe…

90 degree bent to the block or the turbo?

The pipe holes in the banjo themselves are different diameter. Bend side is bigger than the straight side.

I messaged Mamba, and they told me to install the big hole (90 degree bend) to the turbo; but at the same time we want a flow restrictor bolt!?

How did you install yours?
