[Supras] Regards to the turbo oil supply line

[Rockey Fox]

Actually the fact that it doesn't really flex much is
the part I liked as it holds the flange pretty close
to location and aided in installing the mounting
hardware one handed and blind. Seems like a flexible
hose would be more troublesome to install if in the
car instead of on an engine stand.
