i have not but i'm pretty sure you could make one out of copper plumbing pieces faily easily. just need some sort of flex piece on the horizontal piece as close to the turbo side as possible in order to clear the up-pipe flanges.

any speed shop should have some sort of braided stainless lines that could be used for a supply line
Having touble with finding -4 AN banjo. I was gonna try to fix my line, I need -4 AN Furrel Fittings. can only find -3AN.
some one just posted on here the other day about getting a fitting to work with out using the banjo ill see if i can find it again
it is still an S300 that is my point... the BD one will work perfect. I am sure you could make one cheaper though
it is not a s300. Its is based on a k31 turbo(s400 comp cover, 71.5 comp wheel, and a special exhaust hsg(tight a/r).

i had a guy make mine for $40 (house-call and installed!), stainless braided line and U.S.A. AN fittings straight into the valley but about a week later i realized i should've plumbed it to a galley on the side of the block or to the cooler instead.

Ok, once again was blown off by ats! Do you think running a larger line from galley insted of valley would have a negative inpact? Meanining too much oil pumped into bearings and making a seal leak.
It shouldn't. I don't know squat about ATS turbos but if they are BB they should have an oil restrictor built in and if they are journal bearing it wants lots of oil.
From what I understand the new A5K kits come with oil supply lines that feed from the galley. Fleece has a kit that would work for you, give them a call.
from what i have read, only a larger line from the valley in lly+ blocks would negatively affect oiling to the #4 cam bearing. lb7 blocks, from what i could make of it, were not having the issue of starving the #4 cam bearing even with aftermarket oil feeds from the valley. I am not positive if it was just a difference in cam design (oiling groove in lly+ cams ?) or combo of that and difference in factory oil pressure, or what.

i cant remember what size threads are on the bolt but this is what you need for your setup.
