Default Oil return fitting 40mm?

I might be an *** back and I am measuring wrong, but when I measure end to end of the holes on my oil return, they are 40mm apart? Am I supposed to measure from their insides? or from the lenght of the entire plate thing? soory, I couldnt find the ansewer through searching, and I with exacting tolerances like this I would rathe rnot have to buy twice. :P

I believe that you go middle to middle.

Just measured...40mm dead center to dead center on the ******.
Do I need to go custom, or Can I grab a bigger/smaller one and redrill ro something?
It is EXACTLY 40mm center to center of bolt holes.

----. Up for an answer...got to figure this out before it's time to throw my kit on. Something tells me that jbwelding a fitting into the middle hole wont do the trick.

get the closest fitting thats a bit bigger and maybe redrill the holes, should have bought a turbo that wasn't goofy :P

You can either get the 38mm or the 44mm. Chances are if you get the 38mm you may find out you are teh sux at measuring, but if you're really teh good, than you'll just have to slightly open up the two holes. Get the 38.

I measured it dead. USed a special metal mm marker thing. Same with two rulers. If I go 38mm, can I redrill? or easier with 44? Remeber peoples, nothing on the turbo has been standar sized yet.

38mm is closer to 40mm than 44mm, so the logical thing to do in my opnion would be to get the 38mm.

I would get the 38mm and just slot the bolt holes so you can tighten it down.
