So it's leaking between the turbo and the return line? Have you tried a little RTV with the gasket?

stock line going in and the return oil line is the one that comes w/ the install kit, i was going to buy the instant gasket in the tube w/ the gasket if thats what you mean

use the instant gasket on it and it should stop if not a nice blob of JB weld can help you out, when in doubt use JB weld

Are you sure you're not mixing them up? You can't use the stock feed line off of a T25 on a 16g.

You're not supposed to reuse oil feeds lines. Do yourself a favor and buy a new one.

Don't use JB weld on anything that you may want to remove later.
IE Gaskets, flow lines, removable parts.
Clean the area REAL good with brake clean, then hit it with some grey scotchbrite, and finally some denatured alcohol(or brake clean). Then clean all the bolts real good, and use a blob of grey RTV o nthe ends of them too, like a thread sealant.
Also, if you overtorque a flange, like the one on the bottom of the oil return line, you stand a VERY good chance of warping it. Which will give you a crappy seal, and leaks, no matter what gasket you use.
