fire from oil lines?

i just read that the greddy td06 kit is know to have fires because of poor construction of the turbo oil lines. why is this and how can i prevent a potential oil line fire?

the oil line fire thing is a myth, but to be safe you could use metal lines that wont wear or break easily.

I believe the issue was that the GReddy oil lines are not approptiately sized.
If you have the GReddy kit, I would contact ATS Racing and get appropriate sized oil lines.
