turbo Oil outlet from block size?

I am purchasing new oil lines for my turbo.. I believe the outlet line on the top of the block on the front intermediate housing is a 1/8 NPT fitting. Can anyone confirm this?


Thanks,
-Zach

yup 1/8th.

Here are some pics of the stiff I bought for my setup.
I'm using 3an hose to restrict oil flow.

It shoudln't hurt the seals of the turbo if you still have the stock internal restrictor pill.

If the turbo has been rebuild you have a chance it's no longer there(It's pressed in so my turbo guys destroyed it removing it)
