I have put my shorter oil feed pipe from the supercharger to the block on, but I have a longer one that also needs putting on, I'm not sure where it should go has any one got any pics as to where it locates to.

Also I am missing the oil feed pipe bolts so I was wondering if these would be something VW would have in stock or would they have to be ordered.

The oil supply pipe comes from a t-piece that should be fitted to one of the oil pressure sensor holes in the head.  Don't have a picture to hand.

Doubt VW will have the banjo bolts in stock.  If someone with a better memory than me posts up the sizes of bolt they use then you could order from Think Automotive or possibly even Ebay.  Having said that, fairly sure K-Jet fuel lines use the same bolts so maybe VW will have them and if you can find a car with a K-Jet engine in a scrapyard you could take the right bolts off it.  Absolutely loads of 80s cars used K-Jet not just VW.

Ok cheers,

I will have a look and see what I can find.

P.S What's the best oil to run the G's on I can go out and buy some this week then and get it all finished off. I'm going to need Gearbox and engine oil so what's your recommendations.

any decent make 10W/40 semi-synth.

I generally prefer Quantum if I can get it.  I bought a load of it on ebay.
