14b oil feed problem

[selmerguy]

My oil feed for my turbo is leaking pretty bad. I bought new brass washers for it and it still leaks. I have plenty of braided line and fittings so I would like to reroute the line from the oil pump housing and block off the stock oil feed from the side of the head. I searched on here and found out that the fitting for the turbo is like 7/16 inverted flare fitting. I cant find this fitting anywhere. I thought about tapping the hole to 1/4 npt and going from there. Is there any other option? Where can I get this fitting? I am running 4 an braided line.

You have been misinformed. The stock t-25 has an inlet size of 7/16" inverted flare. If I remember correctly, the inlet of the 14b is 10mmx1.25. Just take the stock banjo bolt to home depot or any other hardware store and they can measure the thread diameter and pitch for you.

Or if you wanna just buy a new feed line, RRE has one in a kit for 1g's that has a block bolt for the head and a new fitting for the filter housing. Check it out, i just bought it and it's really nice.

I will take a look at the rre kit. I bought a bolt to block the head and I have the line allready too. All I really need is the correct size fitting for the turbo.
