So I bought a PTE 5557 and I heard that I need to tap into my oil filter housing. Well I need to know the thread pitch and size are, to buy the right oil feed line so dose anyone know the thread pitch and size or know where I can buy a direct fit line?
 
There should be instructions that come with the turbo as to where to source your oil supply line to safeguard the warranty. Abide by this 100% so when the turbo fails you've done everything they told you to do.

Any of the popular site vendors sell oil supply line kits- including the one in your name.
 
Don't forget that if it says to be ran within a certain oil pressure range, check the oil pressure at the turbo inlet so you can get the proper restrictor if required.
 
well I know all of this and no it did not come with instructions I know where to tap into to the oil source I just need to know the size of that hole to by the right fitting. And I will never deal with slowboy ever again it took 2 months to get my turbo then when I got it it was the wrong one!@!!
 
The turbo inlet is most likely 1/8" pipe thread and the OFH ports are 1/8" and 1/4" pipe threads depending on what one you use. For sure get with the seller on oil requirements cause pte's have a bad rep here and if it goes you want to make sure it's covered under warranty.
