Put some liquid teflon on the threads and it shouldnt leak. Thats what i used on my feed and i had no problems.

Thats cause steve doesn't use the exact size thread pitch on the fittings. Just wrap it up with telfon tape good and tighten it down good. I'm just going to the hardware store and picking up some fittings since he uses the same thing but last time he charged me 5 bucks for one. Damn bastard! lol

Have fun finding a M10x1.50 to -3 fitting at the hardware store. :-\

I've heard from 3 people using the 14B kit that the fitting didn't work. Out of the probably 100-150 14B oil line kits I've sold, I'm not sure wether some work and some don't, or what the deal is.
It's for these reasons that I list all the dimensions of each kit I offer, and hope that people are double checking thier turbo's before they order.
If anyone needs anything different, please Pm me.

Henry, $5 for a fitting you aren't going to find anywhere local and the shipping, doesn't even cover the cost of it. :P

If you just tighten it down a little harder, it'll seal. Worked for me.

yeah those things fit like ---- for me.

i ended up re-using the stock bajo bolt fitting (which has a built in restrictor by the way) and welded steves fitting to the end of it.
