Are you using the given adapter seen in the picture of the line? Looks to me like a -4an fitting that gets bolted down w/ the given screws and gasket.

Someone more knowledgeable with the 14B will have to confirm, but I belive that it uses a -4an feed.
The OPSU threads into the block with a 3/8"NPT, so you can tap it from there using a tee.
I wouldn't recommend using Ebay feed lines, I've had bad experience. Just order some -4an line and fittings from Summit and an adapter to use in conjunction with however you're planning on tee'ing it.

all there is a whole the type of line that needs to be used is in the 2nd link but i made a mistake and bought the one thats in the first link......is there anyway i can fix this problem without having to buy anouther line or the 50.00 doller one below is there any way i can install the top link oil feed one in the stock 14b oil feed inlet

Honestly, I'd just buy a line from extremePSI and try to sell the other line. However, that's not what you want to do. Options would be to see if the people you bought it from would allow you to return it or maybe just swap for the correct one if they also sell that one. Otherwise, you could maybe drill and tap the hole in the turbo (not recommended if you've never taken a turbo apart as you'll need to get ALL shavings out).

Best option though, figure out the thread and pitch of the oil feed hole in the turbo, figure out the thread/pitch, which I'm assuming is a -4an fitting, of the line you just bought, and buy an adapter that fits in there.

You'd need one of these bad boys to hook up a basic -4an line: 14B 16G 1G 2G DSM Turbo 4AN Oil Feed Fitting Adapter : eBay Motors (item 260361474745 end time May-08-10 14:00:29 PDT)

Yes, the above should work. I don't think you'll find one at a hardware store, they usually don't carry AN fittings. However, if you find a good diesel shop, they may have one. I had to do that last weekend, needed a metal 1/8" npt to 4AN fitting and they had one at a local diesel truck shop.

NAPA carries any kind of fitting you can ask for....

 

[rstare]

:/ The Napa by me doesn't have AN fittings, I've had to order all mine.

 

[LD25Delta9]

Ouch....Mine's got a machine shop and a speed shop.....I retract my previous statement....Some NAPA's have any fitting you could ask for...my bad...

It's unlikely. This is a specialized fitting.

They carry almost every type of fitting imaginable. While plumbing your lubrication system, it's best to buy all your fittings from the same manufacturer. It may not be as necessary for very low pressure situations, but in general, doing this helps reduce leaks in the long run. Russell, Earl's, and Aeroquip are all good quality brands.

When you do get that fitting, be sure not use any Teflon tape or paste on the -AN side of things. Not only is Teflon not rated for use with hydrocarbons (i.e. fuel or oil), but -AN fittings were designed to seal without any sort of joint compound.
