need help with oil lines

Hey guys I have a a MHI Td08 and I have no clue what the thread going into the oil inlet is. Unfortunately the design of the turbo doesn't allow for an oil flange so I have no choice but to use the inlet threads. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I could go about finding the thread size or where I could get this information. Thanks

I actually think I got it...it's the same thread as the giant spare tire hold down bolt. Now all I have to do is head to the hardware store to find out what size threads that bolt has...then its off to the magical world or anplumbing. Thanks though Yanni

did they have that at the hardware store? usually they dont have the stock thread pitch

This one actually isn't for my car...yeah I agree I'm very unorthodox. I think its a metric 1.5 but haven't had a chance to get to the hardware store yet. About me needing stuff, yeah I could still use the 2.5 inch coupler you have...if its a big hastle for you I could just buy my own. Thanks

More than likely it's 1/8"NPT or 1/4"NPT. If so, get yourself a -4AN to (x)"NPT adaptor and run some good, teflon-lined ss-braided hose oiff of the front iron housing. The front iron housing's banjo fitting is an M12x1.50.
