Default another oil feed fitting question, regarding sizes.


the fittings i was sent were too small for the actually turbo....

ok, the garrett turbo has a 1/4 (NPT?) opening and my oil fitting is a male 1/8 (npt?) i believe...

because I'm not too smart, I would just assume I should just find a fitting with a female 1/8 NPT(is there such thing?) and a male 1/4 NPT? but something tells me it doesn't work like that.

So as far as fittings go, what exact fitting should I be looking for to complete this?

and equally important, can i find this fitting at autozone/PAW/napa/osh/pep boys/home depot, or anything other than that?

and also, is there any trick as to dealing with securing the oil lines into the earls fittings? cause i'm having a helluva time...

thanks for the help guys
