Situation:
My 2jzgte VVTi is from a front sump aristo and I am converting it to a rear sump pan using the kit from drift-motion.
Problem:
The turbo oil drain lines are different than the non-VVTi ones so the stock lines won't connect to my oil pan.

Solution:
What I'm planning on doing is removing the stock rubber tube and using aircraft grade hose (http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/appages/mil6000.php) to attach the hard lines coming off my turbo to the oil pan fitting.
The hose will be able to with stand the oil no problem. However, I'm a bit worried that the aircraft hose is only rated to 250°F. I don't think it should get any hotter than this as long as the hose isn't physically touching anything. I looked into redoing all the lines with braided stainless steel hoses and fittings but the cost is over $300. On the other hand I could get this airplane hose for under $20 and re-use the stock hard lines. Also I'm going to use FIPG instead of the stock gasket to seal between the oil pan and the aluminum fitting. Any advice?
