Water temp sensor larger than normal?

Water temp sensor larger than normal?
I want to change my water temp sensor but upon comparison to the factory N391 sensor, my current sensor appears too large. The threaded portion of the sensor is a touch over 5/8"(m16 I believe) in diameter and is supposed to be m10 I think. I'm changing because I got a single turbo harness from a member and my sensor is wrong compared to the clip. Any thoughts??? Or more info needed? Thanks

Probably want to post a pic up. Not sure what you're talking about.
Also, there are multiple temp sensors - the ECU temp sensor, the fan switch, and the sensor for the gauge.

No, I'll be running the adaptronic. I looked for a part number even with a magnifying glass and couldn't find it. I believe I'm going to swap out the housing for one that will allow me to use the correct parts. I don't like mismatching stuff. Makes troubleshooting more difficult down the line.
I didn't even notice it was tapered. Could be npt then, I'll check it with my taps/dies. I just want to verify what was done for piece of mind I suppose.

That's not a Mazda temp sensor, it's probably a GM sensor. Many aftermarket ECU's can't work with the stock sensor so you have to drill and tap for a GM sensor and put the appropriate connector on the harness.
If you are supposed to be using a stock sensor, I'd go get a stock one. They RARELY if ever fail, I'd just get a used one.

So after verification, it turns out the hole is 1/4" npt. So my fix was to take a brass 1/4" npt plug and drill out the center, I then tapped it for m12x1.5 which Is the size of the stock sensors threads. Hope this helps anyone who has this issue in the future.
