I need to know what fiiting was used for the oil feed inlet line. The one that installs on the top of the center section of the turbo. I have no clue where to buy it or even the size. Can't get in contact with the guy who sold it to me.

Thanks

is the inlet hole threaded? It's mor than likely a 1/8th npt thread pitch and an use a 1/8npt to -4AN fitting and then you can fab up the rest of the oil feed line.

Don't turn this into a "bash DR thread" guys. I won't have that. Things have finally calmed down here and the **** storm won't start again.
