Okay, a direct link to a post containing a link to a photo of the exact nozzle in my car:

Glad you liked it!

Its just ridiculous that someone would post "How do I do this" or "What does this look like" in the very thread that describes, in explicit detail, exactly everything that is known about a particular subject.

Its like someone walking up to the information desk at a mall and asking "Where is the information desk?".

Maybe you will have better luck than me, however that is the same one I purchased and it would not fit properly. I believe standard vs. metric threads is an issue.

why cant you just help sometime?
i know you're expert on this stuff, but not everybody know as much stuff about cars as you do. when someone like me dont understand what to get or what to do even after reading the whole tread, they really dont know how to do it.
to be honest, if i know how to do it, i wont be here talking and having you to insult me!
helping someone wouldnt hurt you!

so the oil line tee right?
so i guess im at the right place then???
cause my machanic was worry about if i put it there, and if the noz jet is not tighten down properly, i will get lose and get stuck in the line somewhere and stop the oil from going through.
and for some reason my machanic said the noz jet wont fit in it, saying that the the noz jet is too fat for it.

True that. I'm just not sure how many more ways I can explain how to install a 2mm piece of drilled brass.

I had my oil restricotr sandwiched between the T in the block and the oil feed to the turbo. never had any problems. its not hard to do. I never really knew if thats the correct place, but it ade the most sense to me.

Either end should be the same.
I had it at the turbo end for a while and now I have it at the "T" end.
It just not a big deal to install it.

I'm amazed that someone has no problem tearing their engine bay apart and installing a turbo, but is defeated by 2 grams of brass...
