Bolt in SS turbo feed line?

I have done lots of searching and it would be nice to get a straight foward answer so I am sure to order the right parts.

My oil feed line broke on my stock s5 turbo. I want to run a SS line from the front the stock oil feed location to the turbo with new flange and all. I have no idea what will fit on the stock turbo and what size threads are on the block and I have searched. Most of what I have found is discussion on best size and not any straight foward answers on what size threads ect.

Simply put, where can I get the flange and line and what sizes?

Thankyou

I was also debating fabricating the stock flange to work by cutting off the pipe then tapping the flange to a undetermined thread

I went to a local rubber and gasket place and they made me a line that threaded into the block, then I cut the pipe off the flange for the turbo and tapped it to 1/8 npt. Easy fix

so you tapped the stock oil feed flange with 1/8NPT and ran like a 4AN line to it with no leaks, smoking, anything like that?
