Oil feed lines fitting in the block?
Im stuck. I have a friend who put a T04B on his car and had a shop do it. I went to them and told them I was doing the same thing and wanted to know if I could get the same oil feed/return lines that he has.
Well, I got a feed line, but I dont know how to get it into my block! Do I need an adaptor or something? I saw this http://www.atpturbo.com/Merchant2/me...egory_Code=FTG and thought about using it in conjunction with the stock banjo bolt that is there, but I dont know if its 14mm OR if my fitting is 1/4" NPT...
How did you all hook up your oil feed?

Can I just measure across the diameter of the bolt that went in there and figure out what size it is that way?
Also, can I measure across the diameter of the AN fitting I have and tell what size it is like that? The AN scale is just based on 1/16" right?

I don't know if these'll help but I have some pics here.. I trimmed off the metal oil line, tapped the stock fitting for a -3 to -3 fitting and then ran -3 braided line to the turbo. I imagine that the fitting you have a link to accomplished the same thing but is 1/4NPT.
Pics are at the bottom

So I could just trim the metal hose off there and have it tapped for 1/4 npt?
EDIT
n/m that. The banjo fitting on a T2 is too small for my fitting to go in there.
