I looked awhile back rather throughly for new supply and return lines that where per the Saab part number to no availability.
The big problem I've run into is galvanic corrosion on the oil cooler connections to the fittings which are of course proprietary. God forbid using a standard fitting so an easy solution for hose replacement is possible.
Brad in KC cut off the fitting, welded an AN fitting on the supply return so normal hoses connected to the oil cooler. Kind of a PITA in terms of fabrication details to make it work, no plug and play option.......
I've clamped hoses, actually double clamped but eventually they leak again. One car I deleted the oil cooler and ran into a high temp problem with heat soak during the summer, when the turbo was churning, so eliminating it on some applications isn't wise.
I think there are some repair kits that have a combination of ferrules and crush collars that could be used, I connected those up on the oil supply side of the turbo, so they should work also on the turbo lines, as I recall, they are the same diameter. Got those from the local hydraulic supply shop, sorry, no part numbers........
