tapping turbo for oil feed line??
 
Got the stealthmode universal kit and I don't see an adapter for teh oil feed line, my drain is on and ready to go. the steel braided feed line has a threaded fitting on it. Am I supposed to tap the turbo feed port for this fitting? I'd have pics but I'm at work right now.

it should have had a T fitting in it that goes into the block and your line connects to it.

Some Turbos have the center section tapped, some don't. Mine didn't. Used a 1/8" NPT tap, put some piece of paper towel down the oil port, ran the tap down it, used a fine tipped vacuum, cleaned the filings out, the took the paper towel out. Worked mint!

if ur turbo inlet hole is not tapped then you can:
  • tap it
  • get a bolt on plate that is tapped.
  • get a bolt on plate that has the fitting with the an male side on it already and take out the small an adapter.

I'm going to try the "tap it" method, just wasn't sure, still working on these damn bends for the downpipe, wish there was an easy answer to that one. Thanks for the info.
