I bought a oil feed kit off ebay for my T3/T4-TDO4 and the damn fitting only fits the oil drain side. Does anyone know were I can get a Oil Feed Fitting for cheap?

Do you want a flange? or just an elbow or something to screw in?

A flange you can easily get on ebay for 10-15 bucks..

If the hole is threaded on the feed location, then just got to lowes and put everything together yourself. The inlet hole is usually a 1/8 npt and the feed line is a 1/4 flared.
 
Depending on who made your turbo the inlet might or might not be threaded. If it it crazy is right it will be 1/8 npt. If not do not try and tap the hole. You can buy flanges for t3/t4 on ebay. I had to use a flange make sure you get the gasket with it.
 
Nope not threaded, and its the T3/T4 TO4E Not TDO4...I had other things on my mind when I typed my post. Its kind of has the same flange as the bottom. But it is larger. I dont know ill look around. Im going to change the feed flange over and put it on my drain line. Ill keep looking around. The inlet for the oil feed is HUGE!...Ill try to get some pics up. Thanks
 
It sounds like you just got the wrong flange then. Since your inlet is not threaded (Josh and Selmer now what they're talking about, some T4s have threaded inlets; it's not just the MHI turbos that are configured like that), you'll need to get the proper flange.

Your best bet is to go back to eBay and get the right one, or ask the seller who gave you this one to exhange it for the right flange. Once you have the correct flange and feed line, all of the rest of the fittings, like Josh said, can be bought at Lowes or the Home Depot.
 
Thats what I was thinking, That they gave me the wrong flange. The first thing I checked was to see if it was threaded because my old one was that way. Man I tell you what the little things of starting new and fresh suck....LOL
