Default trouble finding fittings

i have and rhb5 turbo off a subaru loyale. i have been to five different places and no one has the male fittings for the oil feed line and the cooling lines. i was thinking i would run a hard line off a brass t from the oil sending unit and the cooling lines i would just find a male fitting with a nipple to t off one of the cooling lines. i am going to try lowes but i don't know what to do after that.

find someone at like napa or whatever u got in the states.

get someone that is interested in your project, keep going to the same guy for all your turbo fittings and crap. i find finding a salesman that is interested in what your doing is the best thing.

if it is anything like my mitsu td04 (has ihi exhaust side) try napa crb 2-17441, crb 2-17445, and crb 2-17448. the first is i believe to be banjo nipple, the second to be banjo bolt 10mm, and the third you will need 2 of the copper gasket washers. i just ordered mine from napa...very few keep them in stock. the coolant i'm not as sure about since mine has coolant and oil drain, but i think the coolant might be 12mm. good luck.

i know this is an odd question(desperate), but is there any other way to connect the oil and coolant lines to the turbo. cuz, this is starting to look like a lost cause. its funny, i live in backwards *** redneck town but yet, the parts stores don't have ----, metric that is.

i think napa locates for your type of area. the parts i listed will cost you 8-10 bucks. you will only have to wait a week for them to come in.
