Default homemade thingy for turbo oil feed

i made this bolt/oil fitting for my turbo when i figured out that the brass fitting i had in there wasnt actually the right size.
just found this bolt in my tool box and started in on it. it used to be 3 inches long. cut it welded it drilled it and tapped it.
i drilled 2 different size holes. ones super tiny and the other is like 3/8 or something. anyways heres the pics.



beats going online, finding the part, PAYING FOR IT, and then WAITING FOR IT,
plus i know for a fact that this is what i need. i just dont know if its going to seal yet. it should though.

There's always JB weld if it doesn't seal. HMT FTW.

-16g turbo


-yeah the camera was on close-up mode but for some reason the flash was making it over saturated so i turned the flash off and
then with no light the shutter stays open longer and my hands had to be super steady. BUT i figured out how to get close-ups
and not have that problem anymore. ill post those later on. i got many more pics of installing.
the bolt broke when i put too much torque on it so i had to reweld it. now its super strong.

Did you finish repairing your manifold where the oxy-fuel burned some of the stainless up?

hahaha . oh yeah that was just a test run. since it didnt work we tig'd the whole thing up.
i later did another test on just a couple of scraps of SS to see if oxy would work on them..... it doesnt.

i should have my car up and running in a couple days after over a year of planning and building for boost.
i hope it works.
