Turbo oil line fittings
« on: January 18, 2011, 09:39:15 am »
Well--i just figured out your back online (how long has it been?  :P)
 I'm back to working on my TD swap. I'm looking for what to do for oil line fittings for the turbo. Its 1/8 pipe on the T3 -but I don't know what the size is that screws to the oil filter adapter-where the stock hard line attaches. I plan on using -4 line. Anyone have a part number for a fitting?
Thanks!

Yea--the sending unit hole is-what i need is the other larger one-where the stock hard line for the turbo goes.

No fitting on these stock are NPT.
There is a thread in the FAQ detailing what you want.
