The NM Engineering Stainless Steel Braided Turbo Oil Line is a vital reliability upgrade for R-Chassis MINI models. Factory rigid hard lines are notorious for developing leaks at the fittings over time due to engine movement and intense heat cycles. Left unaddressed, a leaking turbo oil line creates a significant mess, risks starving the turbocharger of lubrication, and poses a serious fire hazard when oil drips onto the catalytic converter.
To permanently solve this issue, this kit features 100% premium stainless steel construction across all major components. The flexible braided hose and the precision-machined banjo fittings are crafted entirely from stainless steel to deliver maximum corrosion resistance and structural integrity under extreme under-hood temperatures. The only non-stainless components included are the premium copper crush washers, chosen specifically to ensure a flawless, malleable high-pressure seal.
