Seems like it would work well for the oil feed line and possible pressure readings

I use the GReddy Oil Filter adaptor... Made the oil source part of the install about 1000x easier if my calculations are right

The GReddy is a bit more expensive but it does come with 3 AN fittings rather than 2. Only difficulty I had with install was making sure the bottom O-ring would stay in place when I was trying to fit the sandwich adaptor, took about 4 or 5 tries before my brain kicked in and I put a bit of clean oil around the oring to keep it in place on the sandwich adaptor..... this is probably hard to visualize from text but you'll know what I mean when you start installing


By the way; who's thread is this 9K's??? Double digit pages and still no install???


Not 100% sure but I think I ordered my adaptor from here:

We have boost!

Go to post #2 for pics and vid.

I had several snags with my install that I want to list:

I had a tough time with my custom oil return line, had to change out AN fitting a few times to fit around the frame and such. I will have to change it again due to the return line now making contact with the manifold.

The prior owner of this kit did a real number on the manifold by welding on a flange for a open waste gate. I capped the flange but then had to cut it to fit the sub frame back on

I broke my prosport oil catch can but we had that fixed fairly quickly.

We heat wrapped the manifold but when we went to rebolt it up we had a problem with the heat wrap being too thick up near the manifold flange so we had a very hard time getting the nut to thread onto the bolt there.

Other than that it went real smooth.

I would advise to bolt up both oil feed and oil return line before mounting turbo!


I want to thank all of the local guys who really helped out. KMA5783 and Caddywampus (police34) have been simply awesome with lending a hand. I also want to thank Charles Ray Hill and Kane for there help pre-install.
