Turbo Oil Feed Help
Does anybody know the exact fittings we need for the oil feed? I have gathered from searching, that the 8mm hex plug above the oil filter, is a 3/8 NPT, and we need a -4an, 48 inch braided feed line to run to the turbo... Cool
A few things tho.. I cannot seem to find a reducer that goes from 3/8 npt, to 4an. I have found plenty of reducers that go from 3/8 npt, to 1/8 npt: and 1/8 npt to 4an.. But on the sites i am looking at, they all seem to be male adapters
And I am using a 16g turbo off of an Evo VIII, what type of fitting do I need to be able to hook the -4an feed line up to the turbo? I have read that it might be 7/16 -24, inverted flare to -4an... but never saw this confirmed
Site i have been looking at: ANPlumbing.com
Can anybody confirm any of this? Ultimately i am needing to hook up my feed line, and my oil pressure sensor to this hex plug, so looking to do something like this:


What fittings do I buy?!

I totally forgot about sandwich adapters, do they go between the oil filter and the block?
What brand are you running? There is a few different ones on eBay and **** that say they work for our cars

Yes it connects in between the block and oil filter and gives you a couple places to install feed line pressure sensor etc.
