Hey guys i had my egay turbo rebuilt by blaastperformance about 3 months ago. I have yet to put it in. I have no idea what size fitting i need for the oil feed. It was rebuilt with garret parts, so i believe the only fittings for their feed holes are 1/8" NPT and 1/4" NPT, but the hole itself is 1/2" wide. So what size could it be since the hole in the turbo is 1/2" wide? 1/8npt or 1/4npt? its confusing as hell to me
If anyone could help me out let me know. If you need more info let me know too. Thanks

so if the hole is 1/2" wide when measured with a measuring tape then it is probably 1/4" npt right?

0.5" wide seems pretty big for the feed line. You sure its not the drain?

no the drain hole is square, this is definately the feed hole with threads but the feed hole itself is a 0.5" wide when holding a tape measure across it.

You just need to take the turbo with you to ace hardware or vatozone, something like that.

I had a turbo like you describe, I needed a larger than 1/8 fitting to go into the turbo. I found a fitting that screwed into the turbo and had a female opposite side for another fitting that was 1/8 npt to screw into.

Here is a picture, you can see the fitting that is screwed into the turbo, then a 90 degree 1/8 npt is screwed into it.

BTW..........*** CFT shady shitbags!!!!!!

thanks for the advice. thats probably what i will end up doing. CFT never did me wrong, although after i got my **** tuned there i heard a couple bad things about them, so i guess it depends from person to person.

probably 1/8NPT if it is a garrett type center housing...

but flanges work wonders.

hopefully you already got this figured out but i had the same prob... i tryd every pipe thread possible, bspt,bsp,npt,etc...finally i thought WTF lemme jst try a metric thread jst for kicks .... threaded right in by hand! all that work and it was F-N metric ?! but like it says above , flanges work wonders...good luck w. the rebuilt turbo

thanks man i appreciate it. I just ended up buying a flange with a 1/8npt hole in it so i can reuse the banjo bolt thats in the turbo i have now. appreciate all the help guys
