I just upgraded from my IHI RHB52 Turbo to a TD05-18G but now my oil feed line has the wrong fitting. The oil feed line has a flare that curves out and so does the TD05. So I need to know if I can get an adapter or if I need to get a new oil feed line. If I need an oil feed line what is the name of the fitting that will fit the TD05? I didn't put the IHI on my car so I don't know anything about oil feed line except it is braided steel and the threads are the same size for both the IHI and TD05...

Any help is much appreciated....

sounds like you need an AN to pipe fitting.

Oh another problem (kinda) is now my oil return line has to make a serious S-Curve to make back the pan. I kinda rigged up one for temporary use but I want to make one for permanent use. What I did was create the S using two right angle copper pipe pieces but they don't have very much for the gear clamp to grab on to so I don't know how long it will hold. It may hold forever but I just don't want to risk it. SO my question is there a material for Oil Return that can make tight turns without kinking? or should I just remake my line using proper right angle fitting?

edit: for the size problem take it to your local hardware store they should have templets so you can find the size
