Just about to fit up my turbo setup but need to get an oil line made up. Can anyone tell me what size the thread is into the block for the Oil Pressure Sender, or the oil feed for the Vacuum pump on the alternator.
I read somewhere it was M10x1.0 Tapered....is this correct?
cheers

What did you end up doing for turbo and manifold?
Are you doing intercooler also?
Be keen to see it once ur done or give you hand if you want.

I went the DTs Manifold, made a T25 adapter to fit GT2860RS - without the adapter, besides the flanges being different, the compressor housing would have fouled on the manifold.
just sorting all the bits out so i can just fit it up in a weeks time or so.

haven't got it in yet, just piecing it together before I go passed the point of no return.
does anyone know what thread the water jacket plug is at the rear of the block, under the exhaust manifold?
1/2BSPT or something I'm guessing?????
cheers
