Is the R18 engine oil sensor bpst or npt? (Want to use as Oil Supply For A Turbo)

I have read conflicting reports, so I want to ask ....... is the oil sending unit on the R18Z (2014) engines 1/8 BPST or 1/8 NPT threads?

I want to use this as a oil supply for a turbo....

IIRC oil sending units are not NPT so prolly BPST but the npt is close enough that it fits and thats what everyone does becouse it works

Looking good now!
