Hey all, I hope someone can help me.

I have a ss oil feed line I'm trying to install to my oil filter housing.

Here is a pic of the line at the turbo:

And here is a pic of the mysterious male fitting:

I need to know the thread of the latter. I plan on using an adapter with the ? (female)-->3/8 BSPT (male)
 

im just curious what turbo that is...im using a 20g and my ss line goes from the turbo to the head ...

Will that thread fit on the side of the head???

I believe you have to go off the oil filter housing where the pressure sensor is screwed into... not %100 sure on that though.

LOL @ the ziptie... hahahaha. You can tell the car hasn't been ran yet. First 5 minutes, that sh*t will melt and the turbo blades on the hot side will scrape and you will need a new turbo... again!

I just used that zippy for mock-up purposes /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

But I still need to know the thread...is it NPT, metric, BSPT?

Where did it come from? If you don't know how to figure it out, you may have to take it to a hardware store and match it up to fittings in the plumbing section. Your picture is fuzzy and has no dimensions listed, so how can we even make an educated guess?

The fitting in the oil housing is 3/8 BSPT.

It may end up being easier to just buy a new oil feed line for ~$30.
