Default quick before Home Depot closes - what size fitting for t3/t04e oil inlet?

Hey guys,
I bought an oil line kit that fit my old T3, but I just got my garrett t3/t04e and the fitting to screw into the oil inlet doesnt fit, its too small. Anyone know what size I need for the oil inlet?

thanks!

I agree..

It's probably 1/8th NPT to the turbo, but the other side has been a problem... they dont have small AN ends at HD.

Get the info from the mfg ahead of time. That is your best bet. A lot of places have **** for hardware selection.

my to4e inlet isn't 1/8npt cause my oil kit w/ the 1/8npt fitting and its too small for the inlet.

so most likely its 1/4npt. gonna go down to the local pipe shop and get a 1/4npt to 1/8npt adapter.
