03lance I think its a 4an size which should be equal to 1/8 npt... now I just need to know how long does it need to be, and about earlier clamping or zip tie the oil feed to the radiator pipe, I meant WATER PIPE lol, sorry does the water pipe get hot and will it melt another hole in the feed line? I figured why not use a clamp and create enough slack to keep the oil feed line away from the turbo so im not having issues or just secure it either way.

I have to order an O2 sensor plug, and order another bung, I have to move the O2 sensor now bcause there is no room to screw it in at

Do you mean the hard pipe coming across the by the turbo? I would not attach anything by there. If you mean the lower radiator hose then no it wont melt it.

With a 4 foot line it should be perfect length for you to secure it to the IC pipe that connects to your J pipe that will keep it out of the way of everything.

actually the only thing I need is to connect the oil feed line to the turbo, like that 90 degree bend a majority of people have. I just need the fiitting so I can screw it in the turbo. Where can I buy that from

Could you not get ahold of some of the copper washers? Or did you just decide to go another route? I have not had a single issue with mine

OK im buying the oil feed line today, I started her up yesterday and I couldnt believe that in 8 days of my trip I had no oil and coolant in the car... So I replenished everything back in the car and she started right up...

Ok my oil sandwhich adapter is 1/8 npt, and I have a 10 or a 12mm -4an banjo bolt, I think its a 12 mm im not sure but here are my line choices so I need you to tell me which one to get unless you know a different place that can make one for the same price or a little cheaper. I prefer the 90 degree bend that connects to the turbo so if you know where those are at let me know.

When I called them I gave them my specs, SS braided 4 foot oil resistant hose, 1/8npt male end and the -4an female end. The dude told me what size line I would need according to the ends I was getting as I cant recall off the top of my head. It was $25 shipped to my door.
