Single turbo oil feed and return questions
Good evening all,
I have a 1993 with a Garrett T04Z. I am looking to replace the turbo oil feed and return lines. I found a bunch of things on the feed side that reference 4-AN lines and fittings so I think I'll go that route. But I'm not clear on the adaptor that I need to go from standard NPT to 4-AN on the top of the engine near the oil fill tube. Can anyone here provide guidance on that? And for the return line, is the factory ovular connector with the 2 bolts at the top and bottom a "standard" size? Like, could I buy a flange for a T4 turbo and it would bolt up there to the side of the engine? Or do I need something specific? Or (best case senario), can anyone link me to a feed/return kit that has everything I need? Thanks!

This might be a better question for the single turbo forum.
Do you have the turbo currently running in the car and are looking to replace old/ratty/leaky lines?
I think it's fairly well documented what size lines and what type of adapters you would need. I'd dig through the single turbo forum.
If you are putting that turbo on now, that is a SUPER old tech turbo, going to be lag city.

For the oil feed, you want this adaptor: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/EAR-9919BFHERL
For the return line, I used this for the front cover; https://www.ebay.com/itm/32488631430...hoCNckQAvD_BwE
