On the twin-turbocharged M57, all the oil that reaches the turbos goes through this line first. It carries pressurized oil from the engine block to the oil distribution piece, which feeds both the high- and low-pressure turbos. When the factory line’s rubber sections age and its crimped fittings start to leak, the oil spreads across the block and exhaust. The leak also puts the oil supply to both turbos at risk. This line sits deep in the engine and is hard to reach, so it’s a job you only want to do once. We built our braided distribution line to be the last one you install.
The factory line uses rubber hose sections that harden and crack with heat and age. Our version uses a PTFE inner hose wrapped in stainless steel braid, so it stays flexible and leak-free through countless heat cycles. On top of that, a black PVC shell protects the braid in the tight space around the block and keeps the factory look under the hood. Our line comes with new banjo bolts and copper crush washers. It fits in the factory location with no modifications. While you have this area apart, it’s a good time to replace our high-pressure (11427795971) and low-pressure (11427795972) supply lines too.
BMW’s M57 twin-turbo diesel uses its two turbos in stages. A small high-pressure turbo gives quick response at low RPM, and a larger low-pressure turbo takes over for top-end power. The oil line that feeds the high-pressure turbo runs right next to the exhaust manifold, which makes it one of the hottest places on the engine. After enough heat cycles, the factory rubber hose sections get brittle and crack, and the crimped fittings start to leak. You may see oil dripping onto hot exhaust parts, smell burning oil inside the car, or notice smoke from under the hood. If the leak is left alone, the turbo bearings can run short on oil and fail. Our braided supply line fixes this weak spot with a tough PTFE stainless steel line built to take the heat for good.
From the factory, this line is steel tubing joined by rubber flex sections, with an aluminum heat sleeve that holds onto oil once a leak starts. We replace the rubber with a PTFE inner hose wrapped in stainless steel braid. PTFE holds up to heat and oil far better than rubber, and the braid protects against bursts and abrasion. On top of that, a black PVC shell keeps the braid from rubbing against nearby lines and wiring, and it keeps the factory look under the hood. Our line comes with new banjo bolts and copper crush washers. It fits in the factory location with no modifications required.
The M57 twin-turbo diesel’s two-stage setup depends on its large low-pressure turbo once RPM and load increase. The oil line feeding that turbo runs low on the engine, from the oil distribution piece to the turbo, where heat from the exhaust and turbo housing wears down the factory rubber hose sections over time. As the rubber hardens and the crimped fittings loosen, oil starts dripping onto the exhaust and coating the underside of the engine. Left alone, the leak can cut oil flow to a turbo that’s expensive to replace.

From the factory, this line is rubber hose crimped onto steel fittings, and the rubber is the part that fails. We construct our line using a PTFE inner hose wrapped in stainless steel braid, which holds up to heat, pressure and oil far better than rubber. On top of that, a black PVC shell keeps the braid from chafing against nearby parts and keeps the factory look under the hood. Our line comes with a new banjo bolt, adapter fitting, and copper crush washers. It follows the factory routing and fits in the factory location with no modifications.

The turbocharger oil supply line is one of the most common failure points on N14 and N18-equipped R5X MINIs. Responsible for delivering a steady stream of pressurized oil to the turbocharger’s center housing (CHRA), this line keeps the turbo’s bearings properly cooled and lubricated. Unfortunately, its location directly alongside the exhaust manifold and catalytic converter exposes it to extreme heat. Over time, this heat causes the oil inside the line to harden or “coke,” creating a permanent restriction that starves the turbo of vital lubrication.
MINI attempted to address this issue by adding a retrofit heat shield to N14 models, but the problem continues to plague MINI owners. Furthermore, the OEM banjo bolts rely on copper crush washers that become brittle and warp under heat, leading to persistent oil leaks at the back of the engine.
To eliminate these issues, ECS developed a high-performance replacement for the factory turbocharger oil feed line (11657534454). Built from premium stainless steel braided -4 AN hose and engineered to withstand the harsh thermal environment of the N14/N18 engine bay, this upgrade ensures consistent, dependable oil delivery. A PTFE inner lining provides exceptional chemical and temperature resistance, while black zinc–coated fittings and banjo bolts offer improved corrosion protection and long-term sealing. The result is a durable, leak-free solution that outperforms the factory design in every way.
Features:
-4 AN stainless steel braided hose eliminates the OE swivel fittings for superior sealing and consistent oil flow
PTFE inner lining delivers outstanding chemical and temperature resistance
Black-anodized aluminum AN fittings offer improved durability and a refined appearance
Black zinc–coated banjo bolts resist corrosion for a long-lasting repair
Includes four new crush washers to ensure proper sealing during installation
Whether you're fixing an oil leak or performing preventative maintenance, choose the ECS upgraded turbocharger oil feed line for lasting durability and leak-proof performance.
