Okay, so my turbo problems just keep getting worse. First, I had an exhaust leak from a blown gasket (still haven't fixed yet). Then, the other day, my car started leaking oil. I took it in to a shop this morning and apparantly my suspension and axle and stuff has been rubbing against my oil line and turbo intake piping. So there's a hole chewed in my oil line, and a hole punched in my intake piping.

This is where I need help. It's a DA sports kit, so I know a replacement pipe is pretty much out of the question. Is there any way to get a replacement elsewhere, or at least patch this? Also, the oil line, where can I get a replacement? Can I get just any oil line or does it have to be one specifically for this kit?

oil line is easily replaceable. the turbo pipe can be welded by any fabricator

I just found a shop nearby that can fix it for me. They're gonna sleeve and pressure seal the piping for now (it's gonna have to be relocated eventually).

The shop's really cool. He's building a custom late 80's RX-7 with a twin turbo 20B 3-rotor engine, roll cage, custom fiberglass interior, widebody, and a Porsche rear end.
