GT42 oil feed fitting size?

I'm at work right now, but I need to get the fitting ordered for this weekend. Anyone know what size the fitting is for a non-bb GT42? Can't seem to find it anywhere, not even on the Garrett website...

Thanks

I use a flange and gasket, I tap the flange to whatever size I need. Usually 1/8npt

Well, I don't have enough time to make the flange right now, but I can get the fitting by this weekend. Anyone know the thread size?

It is difficult to say since there are a lot of different GT42's and they have different oil inlet threads.

If you can manage to give me a part number on the center housing, I can find the thread for you, otherwise it'd be a stab in the dark.

IF it is a tapped CHRA your fitting size will be 1/8npt. If you need the fitting I have the fitting here.

You can get 1/8 npt at any good parts store. The stainless brakeline feeds are the same as the AN adapters.

I don't think it's a 1/8NPT. I have a 12mm (by 1.25 or 1.5, can't remember) and it fits, but it seems abnormally loose. It's definatly a straight thread, not a taper.
