Default K04 install question...oil feed/return lines!
Should I pick up new oil lines vs re-using my current lines in the car? I'm leaning towards new lines since the current ones have 110k miles on them...thoughts?

Yeah, that's what my mechanic suggested as well.

New. Probably a good idea to replace some vacuum/boost lines as well

new. IIRC, the return line is more important.

I have a 155K on mine with GT28 and lines are fine. It's just a braided SS line.

Default I used the old lines....
swapping out lines is really only needed if the original are blocked or reducing the flow.

Not necessary really, but why not while you are in there.

I did new lines when my K04 went in at 93k miles. Better to do it and not worry about it later.
