Oil feed line question.

[99BoostedRS]

I'm not sure if this is the oil return line but its the little stainless steel tube that runs to the back of the engine block. The guy before me had a turbo on the car and took it out. The problem is he left the oil return line and know i don't know what to do with it i cant find anything to block it off with and since it goes in the back of the engine I'm guessing it need's a bolt or something. Does anybody know where i can find that type of bolt or screw? I can take a picture if you guys want to show where the line goes.

Post a picture up so we can see what you are talking about. I'm not sure why he moved the return in the first place.

If it's running from the turbo to the back of the block it's the oil feed line. Unbolt it from the block and take it to a hardware store and find a block-off with the same threads. Not sure off the top of my head what it is but I'm sure someone else does.

Or, get an original oil pressure sensor because that's what originally went there.

Yes.

The threads are probably 3-AN or 4-AN; you will not be able to find a suitable plug at any local hardware store. A performance shop that carries -AN and stainless steel braided hose may have what you need. Hydraulic line supply shops should too.

If you can't find anything locally, Summit Racing or Jegs will have what you need:
