[Supras] Regards to the turbo oil supply line

[Harley]

Isn't there a kit that converts the flex tube to stainless steal hoses? It 
would be easier if they had the hoses rather than the flex tube. (which 
doesn't really flex). If there is a convertion of the sort... where can I 
buy it?

P.S. Exhaust leak problems fixed :)
