Default turbo install problem HELP OIL LEAK

the oil feed tee fitting just loves leaking. first time it was leaking out of the block..so I torque it down hard(got it to turn an entire turn into the block with plyers).....went to start it up and it'still leaking but not sure where from this time....I think it could be the feed adapter to the tee fitting now for the oil feed....I don't know..... help me please....

Do you have any BSPT adapters on it ? You may want to be careful about tigtening to the block.

Chilinit is right, no teflon tape on the AN threads.

are you using the banjo fitting that comes with the kit for the oil feed on the turbo? if so than don't overtighten it. i had to improvise cause i broke mine. those fittings aren't strong, or cheap.
also, why don't you just call my cell instead of im if you wanna get in touch?
