What was found

LEFT OIL LINE GOING TO THE LT TURBO WASTGATE CONTROLLER WAS UP AGAINST THE WASTEGATE DOWN PIPE. THIS CAUSED A HOLE TO BE BURNED INTO THE OIL HOSE. THE ENGINE LOST 10 QTS OF OIL BEFORE THE PILOT COULD LAND AT THE NEAREST AIRPORT. THIS PROBLEM ORIGINATED AT THE MFG. THE HOSE NEEDS TO BE LONGER TO ALLOW FOR THE RE-ROUTING OF THE HOSE AWAY FROM THE TURBO AND EXHAUST COMPONENTS.
