Trying to get this all buttoned up and this is the last part I need. Found many places on ebay that sold a generic hose but having the correct fittings from the git go would be nice.any sources to call or order online would be great. thanks in advance matt

I'm pretty sure they don't have parts for the 088 anymore, but have you tried ATS themselves? That's where I got my replacement hose, but that was in 2005 or '06, before ATS stopped supplying parts...

I myself went a bit of a simpler route using a couple of brass fittings and about 3 feet of heavy duty tractor hydraulic line from the ranch supply store for $30. I figured if that line is good for 6000psi, it should hold. 
BUT this was for a hypermax kit, not an ATS...not 100% sure if you would be able to fit it.
Sure beats the hack job that came with my used turbo kit. Found out the guy fashioned his feed line out of an old steel brake line. The diameter of that line you can imagine is quite small...

turbos dont need alot of oil. the stock braided line is 3/16" on my ats 088. the inlet on the turbo is 1/4 npt so i went from 3/16 to 1/4 on both ends as the oil pressure sender is 1/4 also. i put a t ontop of the turbo and moved the ops there.

The picture shows my solid steel 3/8th line -I wanted a lot of oil. I was concerned with the vibration stress cracking the steel,so I bent it so it was under tension And anchored it with rubber wire cable holders to prevent vibration (the worst enemy of steel & very abundant on a diesel). As usual criticism will be welcomed as that is a learning thing for us all.
The brass fitting by the intake is a brass "T" soldered to a piece of heavy sheet metal drilled ,then run under the return lines to an intake manifold bolt. The sender on the T is a 7 lb oil pressure switch wired to a back up buzzer in the cab under the dash there is an over heat sensor on the right rear of the head,my mechanical temp sensor is on the lower left front of the head where the original over heat sensor was.
The factory oil pressure sensor is where it always was and a mechanical oil gage is also mounted on the "T". the wires for temperature over heat and low oil pressure is attached to the oil sensor on the brass fitting. The object is that if engine is too hot or oil pressure is too low ,also if vacuum is low a buzzer sounds in the cab to instantly warn of a serious condition. No one can truthfully say they watch the gages close enough that one of these conditions would "NEVER" be missed. I feel this is an important safety & engine protective device.
