Damn! Need Help Quick Oil Feed Line..
- Thread starter huntin5L
- Start date
I know im holding the oil return line, but im referring to the oil feed line. On the stock oil feed line it is male and the upgraded one i got has a female fitting at the end. There has to be some kind of fitting that where im able to get it to mate to the block. ARGH!! Anyone?

Just FYI - the original TD06 turbo kit comes with something different than what you have there (as you know). It comes with a single stainless oil feed line with dual banjo ends and a partial oil return hardline. The feed line goes on the top of turbo and one goes on the block and I believe uses the stock bolt there (which is where you found your issue). Plus it is way bigger than that holy crap! 
You are right though, you need an adapter at the block to make that work as-is. Now the question is what is the block thread (BSPT?) and what is that stainless hose thread (NPT?) This is where the fun begins hopefully someone can help. Looks real small something like -4AN, 1/8 NPT maybe I dunno...

PS - if you get desperate I may be willing to bastardize my other TD06 turbo kit I have sitting on the shelf. It has the original oil feed and return line. Will cost you if so

This may help, appears block thread is 12x1.25. In that case you don't have to mess around with BSPT. So you just need to figure out the thread of your stainless line and find an adapter.

you'll be better off with the adapter, banjos and hardlines suck!
Oil feed is stainless, flexible. Return is like the stock one but allows for a tiny rubber hose to be added, still a hassle. What you have is best, although tiny for a feed line.

you could use the stock 12mm bolt and attach that line if it is -4AN interesting! But there should be a straight adapter available somewhere.

No wonder I couldn't find it easy, it's not easily found!

to quote polobai "the thread pitch for the oil feed on the block is 12x1.25-trust me on this one-I had to order mine (12x1.25 to -4) from Mazworx in orlando(straight fitting, no adaptor)."

So looks like you can either do the banjo adapters, get straight adapters from that place or talk to me about my banjo line.

doesn't appear, the oil feed port IS M12x1.25. so, you need a M12x1.25 to whatever that line is (looks to be -3?).

huntin - check the other side of the stainless line, you must have an adapter to the top of the turbo - post up a picture and maybe drjonez can visualize it under his stethescope to determine -3 or -4...
What I have is a stainless line with 2 12mm banjo fittings on each end, works in either direction. Try to visualize, I have no camera at the moment.
This is why I asked if you could show us what the other end looks like (since it is hooked up to your turbo using a 12mm banjo). Someone may be able to confirm the part or the size so we can guide you to the right part. No sense in purchasing work arounds if we can get it right the first time.
Where is oneandgone, has he done gone away?
