so i was driving today on the high. and i guess my oil feed line gave up and blew and i had oil all of my motor,manifold,downpipe,and everything caught on fire. after all those brake boosting the other day. well so forth on the day today on the highway. I seen smoke out of the rear view and stopped as fast as i can, and shut off the engine and then i seen flames. all i had was 2 mountain dew soda bottles and i used it to put the flames out.. if i didn't have it i would of been screwed..... Thanks mountain dew lols.. but can't drive the car till new oil feed line comes in..=X

That sucks man, learn from the close call

The stock turbo oil feed line on a GST runs between the block and downpipe. Mine cracked and sprayed oil all over the downpipe and bottom of the manifold and turbo. It smoked like a bitch and scared the fuck out of me but didn't catch on fire thank god.

Lesson learned, re-routed braided stainless steel turbo oil feed line. Fuck hard lines, they crack under hard stress
