Default Oil line quick 2 questions

Hey all

Sorry for time wasting thread but I'll make it quick

I'm wondering would this oil line kit fit a gt35 wastegate version cheap ebay turbo

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/141786896023?ru=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com.au%2Fsch %2Fi.html%3FisNewKw%3D1%26isRefine%3Dtrue%26mfs%3D GOCLK%26acimp%3D0%26sqp%3D141786896023%26_nkw%3D14 1786896023%26_rdc%3D1

And also an4 as it says the feed line is.. will that fit in to a 1/8npt oil pressure t piece that I've got in the block

Thank you in advance only making thread to be sure

it works, but not well. two major problems with this kit.

1. You never want to use brass fittings directly into an engine block, they break and can **** your engine, just saw a thread where a guy had this problem..

2. That feed flange in my opinion gives more variable to leaking, since it requires a gasket, I hated mine and will never use one again. You're better off buying just a fitting and directly installing it into your turbo oil feed hole (it should be 1/8 npt thread, standard)

Ok number one my fault I'll be using a brass t piece adaptor a aeroflow one i believe looked in to it more and found the one i need

2.

This kit doing research all day the feed is an4 which is the equivalent to 1/8 npt but adaptors are only $3 that I'll use one to go into the t piece and into the turbo eliminating the need to use that gasket leak prone flange

Also it says oil restrictior but no spec on size its 2mm i believe for journal bearing turbos i think

I think i might go with this kit just hope i can get a few thousand miles outta it at least

Any other problems you see in this set up ?

this is what you get on ebay junk, even when specs are given they are often innacurate

$45 USD for a piece of junk? cough up another $20 and you can actually get a legit feed kit IMO
