Turbo Oil Drain

What size fittings do you guys usually use for the oil drain in your front cover. Tap/Drill Bit/Fitting. Im looking for a good size for stock but unless I know exactly what Im looking for, the guys at the store dont know lips from a$$holes.

I used this:

It bolts directly to the stock drain spot on an S5 front cover, and also works on the (t4) turbo. Two of those babies, two of these babies:

And some of this....baby :

I had to change one fitting when I moved to a T04-R...the drain fitting on the turbo I swapped for this due to clearance:

But thats my drain setup. You can use AN stuff that would require 1 adaptor on each of the drain flanges, which can be found many places. And then just fit your -10 line and bingo. I've never had trouble with that straight silicone hose though.....

I use -8 weld on fittings and braided lines. Joe, that's some nice stuff for guys that don't have access to a tig.

thanks guys. I installed a 5/8 fitting into my 12A front cover. I found a tap at work to work it. Unfourtunately, it installed it very close to the block side of the cover. Fourtunately, thats what the other 12A cover is for if this doesnt work.
