• Well--i just figured out your back online (how long has it been?  )
   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!
