Turbo drain tube question

[dhanna6powerstroke]

Which drain tube is suppose to be the better one? The 03-04 tube or the 05-07 tube? One of them is suppose to allow the oil to drain back out of the turbo better and faster. It was in an issue of Diesel Power but I can't find it. I'm replacing my turbo and I want to have the correct tube on hand when I reinstall the turbo. Thanks.

6C3Z-9T515-A. the inside diameter is larger to allow more flow

kidmogster is correct, its a solid drain tube, yours will have the flexible braided stainless lines.

Is the part # listed above for the 05-07 trucks?

I just recently changed my drain tube out, mine was an 04 and it was a solid drain tube, not steel braided. now the supply line to the turbo is braided. it should be soild, but like said above the 05+ is bigger in diameter.

The braided line is the feed tube, the updated feed tube is solid, no fled, and the updated drain tube is larger. Can I get part numbers for both, or is there a kit part number with both and gaskets/o-rings?

Updated return tube part# 6C3Z-9T515-A

Do not know the part # of the oil feed line, but here is one on Ebay New Ford 9T516 PowerStroke 6.0L Turbo Line Super Duty : eBay Motors (item 160402490309 end time Feb-14-10 20:39:38 PST)

I know the gaskets come in a new turbo hardware kit...kit is usually around $8

The part # for the hardware kit is 3C3Z-9T514-AD
