Default Fitting for oil feed will not fit.

(the oil feed is the skinnier line, right? I'm talking about the skinner line)

Well I purchased a maxrev kit from 2K teg...

garret t3/t4
the option was: stainless steel oil lines

i guess i just assumed that it would come with everything i needed for the oil supply..

and the closest fitting earls fitting I am suppoed to use is too small to just thread into it, is there supposed to be an adapter/flange, like one on the oil return line on the turbo? that would make more sense...

if so, where can I get this piece? it's pretty much the only thing holding me up
and does anyone know the thread size

The turbo inlet flange should be 1/8" NPT if I remember correctly...maybe yours has a 1/4" and that's why the fitting won't work?

many of the garrett turbos are 1/4" NPT inlets. the best/easiest thign to do is to head over to pepboys or a hardware store and get a brass 1/4" NPT male to 1/8" NPT female fitting and you will be all set! good luck
