Oil return Question 4 U

Anyone know the size of thread on the oil return flange that's connected to the oil pan-ish area? Is it a -10an thread?


Trying to source a braided hose for the return line but wasn't sure of the thread sizeon that sucker.

perhaps my question isn't clear.

The turbo drains through a T3/T4 fitting with a 1/2 NTP to -10an ss braided hose. That hose leads downwards and screws (I'm assuming) to the threaded flange that is on the lower engine area (up towards the front of the block). I'm guessing this is a stock flange that the sequentials came connected to. Will a -10an ss braided hose screw onto that?

That is not a stock fitting, the stock oil drains use a two bolt flange. The threads on your fitting will depend on who made it, but the vast majority that I have seen are -10AN.

yeah I got to looking at it closer and it definately isn't a stock part. Thanks for the replies. I ordered some of the parts last night from ATP. I'll report back when it's all hooked up with what I bought and how it fit.
