Turbo updates

I am wondering if I need to update just the turbo drain or also the turbo supply? I tried finding this info but maybe im looking in the wrong area. I should get my turbo back in a day or so and need to get the drain and supply if needed. Thanks

Duke did your turbo oil supply line have a bolt that hold it in the top of the oil cooler housing

early ones just snaped into the oil cooler housing lid
If you have one that snaps into the housing I would suggest changing it but you will need the updated oil cooler housing to

other than that I dont think theres to much to gain and the supply line is outragous in price for what it is
unless they have come down since I checked them out 6 months ago IIRC 115.00$$ or so just for the supply and 40.oo$$ for the drain

I think thay said the ss braided line swells on the inside I think there full of BS If mine ever leaks I will make the change

There is a nut where it goes into the housing, but there is a short section of braided line between the two hard lines.

I thought it is just the 05-07 that needed the updated drain and supply lines? mine is an 03 build, would you recommend I do this to? If so what is the benefits?
