Good to know. Ordered my turbo oil lines and got a bung to weld on for the return line. Needed to know.

ATP is quick too, already have it shipped out a couple hours later.

if unsure, always use a magnet, stainless and aluminum contain no iron and a magnet will not be attracted to either, but yes its steel
