I believe the Saab T3's are not tapped while the Volvo's are. Either way finding a non-tapped turbo is pretty rare. And even then tapping is ain't so bad, just toss some grease on the tap and tap away. Then spray ungodly amounts of wd40 or something into the turbo.

it isn't even that simple. There are some Saabs that are tapped. There are also a handful of DSM T25's that have different drain flange mounting holes. It is really weird from a major mft.

the only thing i have to complain is that the damn barb fitting does not screw all the way into the drain flange. dunno if thats been fixed since. but on a positive note, its a great kit

The barb fitting has a different taper than the drain flange. On a non pressurized system it's not a problem.

The whole drain system is a problem when using an hf manifold. It's not that theres something wrong with the oil line kit, the problem is your turbo is dragging on the ground. :P
