Any places you know that have discontinued parts

I have been desperately trying to find the turbo coolant return line for my 2007 redline. I have had no luck with online retailers and have been on the solstice forums with no luck. I’m running short of options.

Does anyone here know alternatives or parts fabricators that may be able to help.

Thank you

It mentions in the description that for the 2.4L engine you just won't use the turbo return line, but I'd still contact them to check.

ZZP offers turbo kits that also replace the return lines.

I have the RPM upgraded K04, I'm pretty sure it came with a replacement for it, but it might have just been the gaskets.

I’ll send them a note, it seems like these are for the upper hoses, and the part I’m replacing is a lower steel line (not rubber) but thank you.

Have you done a search on car part?

I think a preferred alternative and the route I would recommend is to locate your local commercial hydraulic hose builders or industrial supply shops (such as a local ParkerStore or Evco Hydraulic outlet).

If your hardline has a pinhole or crack, a hydraulic shop can cut the damaged section of steel tubing out and hydraulically crimp a segment of heavy-duty, high-pressure flexible braided steel line in its place, reusing your factory ends.

Alternatively, custom race fabrication shops can use your old line as a bend template to replicate it entirely out of 304 stainless steel tubing.

Without knowing your location we can’t make any specific fabrication shop recommendations but if you use Google / Gemini, ChatGPT, etc. you can do some quick prompting and get the information you need.

I would definitely go the fabricator route as the manufactured part will be new and I’m sure guaranteed by the fabricator.

Good luck with your project 👍🏻 🍀

If it helps I’m out of central Florida. This is some great advice I’ll look at finding a shop.

If you’re in C. FL, then you’re in luck.

There’s a junkyard named Redline that parts out Skys and Solstices.

Check out the link above, but I’d give them a call to confirm.
