I think I finally get it now
ok, so I really didn't want to make any posts about oil feed lines to the turbo since it is beat to death here on H-T. But I just wanted someone to say yah or nah (double checking).
The BSPT to NPT adapter is only for the block... correct?
The turbo inlet is NPT so you do <U>NOT</U> need a BSPT to NPT adapter there as well... correct?
And it's OK to not use an oil restrictor with -3 lines but it is suggested to use one when using -4... correct?
Would a earls 90* reusable swivel -3AN fitting be ok (at the turbo) or should I use a straight?
I am sure I will get flamed and told to search, so go away and get the "search you bitch" out of your systems haha....I have searched by the way and it answered my questions I think. I just want to make sure.

Yup, unless of course you hav a Greddy Sandwich plate which I believe has a BSPT port.

Not sure about Garrett, MHI, Greddy or other turbos but most other T3 or T3/T4 hybrids do have a 1/8 NPT oil inlet.

I would use a restrictor with either -3an or -4an, but that's just me.

Depends on your manifold setup and how your line is routed to the oil inlet. Either a 90 degree, 45 degree or straight will work. All you need is a male to male 1/8 NPT to -3an fitting. Screw the NPT side into your oil inlet and the -3an side is where you screw in your -3an feed line.

Re: (Dunc)
glad to see your car is coming back together, I'm guessing it's sleeved now? how much power are you shooting for? i made 325 on raceline's mustang dyno 2 days ago at 16 psi, running at the track with slicks for the first time this weekend.
