Sup all.

Im using the T adapter that came with the kit and its working fine but it leaks very heavily. I leave puddles wherever I park for longer than 10 minutes and ive spent about $50 on oil since ive had the turbo.

What are you guys using instead of that?? I added 2 layers of Teflon but do I need to add more?? I messaged the people at Prosportgauges.com about their sandwich adapter and they said they arent sure if it would accommodate the oil needs of my turbo.


Thanks =)

Then you just drill out the adapter where the hole is, retap it to your line and boom your problem is solved. Another reason I bought my oil plate adapter just for that very reason.

Ok on your oil filter sandwich adapter, there will be predrilled holes for sensors, lines, etc. If your line is bigger than what they have predrilled all you need to do is drill out the hole bigger to the size of the line you have and tap the new threads into the freshly drilled out hole.

This way you can just screw your line into the adapter.

Understand it now?

You could either have a poorly made feed line or a poorly made T. Are you sure the T is BSP threads and not NPT? If it is leaking from in between the T and block then it is the adaptor. If it is leaking in between the T and line, then it is more than likely a faulty line. If you take a faulty line and stick it on a sandwich plate its still going to leak.

Ahhh much better I get it now.

I dont have a sandwich adapter, thats why im asking if someone could recommend one.

Do you sell any plates?? I dont think the line is faulty. I dont know if it is BSP threads or NPT, any way to check? I would love to check where its leaking from but its really hard to tell.

Im thinking of getting a new line and sandwich adapter and get it over with. PM me your prices on lines please.
