So my car is leaking a rediculous amount of oil from underneath. I'm just gonna clean the whole thing up and buy a new oil return line and all that jazz. What do you guys suggest? I'm thinking keep it OEM and avoiding the bull with all the other kits. Anyone got $.02 to throw me?

A factory one should be plenty. If you really want to make it easy to get the turbo off without breaking the seal in the future, you could get some high temp hose from napa (greenish blue color) and then some hose clamps. Cut out the middle section and then put the hose in its place. When you replace the gasket, make sure you get the copper washers that go around the bolts. I think the most common place for a leak is from the threads on the bolts.

Alright. So what I'll do is use the stock line that's on there now, cut out the middle section and clamp in a piece of that high temp hose in place. Use a new gasket to the pan as well as the turbo and use some thread sealer with crush washers to prevent leaking through the bolts.
I think I'll end up taking the turbo off and putting a 7cm gasket to the housing since I'll be down there anyways.
