Tried fitting actuator after oil feed didn't fit so undone to bend around actuator slightly kinked it wil this be a prob ? Is slight kink just Lil worried cheers rob

 

any help guys

 

Got a pic of the 'kink' sonic?
Hard to tell without seeing it mate.
You defo can't be restricting the oil feed as it will lead to a premature failure of the turbo.

 

If its kinked I wouldn't use it. Sounds like you need a braided one.

 

If it's only slight it should be fine as the oil feed is restricted by the banjo bolt anyway. On my turbo which is a vf35 it is restricted by a single 1mm hole in the bolt.

 

Considering the turbo spins at approx 20,000 rpm at tickover and anything up to 150,000 rpm full chat, it would be prudent to check the kink in the pipe is not restricting the oil supply to the CHRA of the turbo regardless of the banjo bolt restrictor (if fitted).

That's what I thought the banjo bolt hole is tiny and the kink isn't half way it's just slight can I send to a phone as useless with bucket ect

I was advised never to use a (even slightly) kinked oil supply line.
The yellowish coating (cadmiumplating) on the inside (and on the outside, but that is not the problem)can come loose, and a small flake can clog up the oil restriction in the banjo.
