That's the same as mine. I removed the pipe from the turbo body - it would have put the outlet below the oil pan on my van anyhow.

I'm not sure what the male thread on the pipe is, maybe BSP or something.

You can build oil lines using parts from these guys:

but it won't be cheap.

The TD uses the outlet directly over the filter but both holes access the same passage. For other reasons I had to swap filter stands from the angled Quantum style to the straight-up rabbit type like you show there. I was set up with a fitting that had M12x1.5 threads and the new filter stand was M10. For me it was easier to drill and tap the one fitting to the larger M12 size to fit the existing OEM tube adapter.

To answer your question - if you want a simple bolt-together job, you need to first verifiy what threads are in your stand (looks like M10 in the picture - see if the pressure sender fits both holes - it should have M10 threads on it) and go from there.

While we're on the topic of drain lines, anyone know the size fitting necessary for the QTD drain port?

She's not turbo'd yet, but it's enough of a PITA to swap the oil pans on the Fox that I went ahead and put that pan on, now I'd like to cap the port until it's time to turbocharge her.
