Turbo Brake Question???
Im installing turbo brakes on my 86 na. The car already had stainless lines which are staight because of the angle it attached to the na front caliper. The line enters on the back of the turbo caliper, so do the stainless lines for the turbo have an angle fitting where they attach to the caliper? Or are they the same as na and straight? confused? I am...... Thanks

Not sure who's lines you are running now, but they are different for sure. Ours for instance; "POR500 lines are set up to screw directly into the caliper and POR550 are set up to attach to a hard line coming out of the caliper". Of course, the rears are the same regardless.
Good Luck!

I'm confused???? In your previous post you said "POR500 lines are set up to screw directly into the caliper"
I'm just trying to find out if the lines you sell, that screw directly into the calipers, have any type of angle on the end or is it completly straight?

They should screw directly into the caliper. You should have enough slack to curl the line into a loop to head towards the hard line coming from the car. This loop allows the caliper to move up and down with the suspension and not cause excessive flexing at the ends.

Ay yay yay... I'm havin' a bad hair day <img src="graemlins/c.gif" border="0" alt="[ouch]" />
Sorry for the confusion... it is mine. The POR500 are straight, no bends, and are for calipers that do_not have the angle hard line coming out of the caliper. The POR550 are also straight, but with a different end which connects to the hardline coming out of the caliper (female vs male thing). Clear as mud?
