Title: Turbo oil line fittings
Post by: sdwarf36 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!

its the same threads as NPT, but the threads just are not tapered like NPT.

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