Oil feed and Tapping for oil return

Anyone (SLYDIT?), here who has tapped their oil pan for a turbo oil return - What sizes did you use?

Also what did you use for the oil feed? (any part #'s would be a godsend)

Hey Chris

Mine is fed into the dip stick at the base, I thought it a bit strange but this is what is reccomended in the kit. I must admit if I ever pull out the engine I will change it to the sump as I am worried about flow restrictions.

I used a 5/8th hose barb with a 5/8th bsp thread and tap. Get ready for the price of these suckers as they arent cheap at all, especially when you have to buy the drill bit too. ill get back to you on the exact sizes just to be 100% sure though.

I used the drill and tap that came with the FM Kit. You are welcolm to borrow them if you can get the same fitting. Check out the FM Website, they should have the part number or size there.
