Is this the 90* oil fitting i need?

[jwahl16]

I have a big 16g with stainless braided oil feed line.

I was wondering if this is the 90 degree elbow i need.

EXTREME PSI : Your #1 Source for In Stock Performance Parts - Turbo Fitting 90 Degree: -4 AN Male to 3/8" NPT

its -4an to 3/8 i thinkk

i also saw a -3 an so i wans't sure which one i needed.

This is to attach the line to the oil housing, not the turbo.

Also, do you know of any autoshops that would carry fittings like this. Thanks

That's what you need.

Most parts stores don't have AN fittings unless they're a Speed Shop or something along that line. You can check at places that sell hydraulic fittings as well, like Tractor Supply Co.

The picture looks different but the description is the same

DON'T use aluminum AN fittings on your turbo's oil supply line unless you absolutely must. If anything were to fly up and hit that fitting off the road, it would shear right off and you'll pump your oil pan dry in about 38 seconds.

Aluminum fittings can also crack easily from vibration and go unnoticed. The steel fittings are much more durable against stripped threads and general abuse.

If you ordered the SS feed line that fitting should have came with it. Ive gone through 2 SS lines not knowing what that 90* fitting was for. o_0 I learned my lesson the second time. But yes thats the one you need and do go with steel.
