hx35 oil feed, odd thread

[dsmike1]

im finishing up the final peices to my gst build and i have done a lot of research about the oil feed thread of an hx35. the general consensus here and throughout the rest of the web says that it is 12mmX1.5, so i went ahead and ordered the autometer fitting that converts it to a -4 an. after work today i went to thread it in and it fell right into the feed hole. the inlet is almost double the size of everyone elses. has nyone else ever ran into this problem? if so, where do i find an adapter for this?

holset turbos are either:

12mm x 1.5

or

1/4 npt

Did you remove the holset hex fitting?

What an idiot I am. I didn't even check to see if I could unscrew that hex fitting. Thank you.
