Braided oil line blew. Can you figure out how it happened?

So a braided oil line leading to my oil cooler blew in the middle of the line. I cannot figure out how it happened and was wondering if anyone else

Oil pressure gauge basically saved my motor because I would of never found out.

Can you post pictures of the failure and how your lines were routed to the cooler?

Could just be a defective line.

What oil cooler kit was it? I'm paranoid about running an oil cooler without a pressure gauge. I think that will be my next 'DIY'er.

Yes when I get a chance. Car is currently sitting at the shop.

I am positive the lines were routed fine. The mechanic even said he couldn't figure out why and they are a well known shop for Z cars here.

The oil cooler came with the BP turbo kit. I would recommend an oil pressure gauge after what happened with my oil line.

Yup, noway I would run mt 34 without a gauge. I need to work on the looks of how it's mounted, but I will have plenty of time for that stuff this winter, for now....
