It should be 1/8 npt, haven't seen anything else except on the Garrett DBB and Holset turbo's.

I didn't run into that issue on my S50 with that fitting installed, but I did have to add some height to the water return.

Thats just the picture I found. The passage might be bigger but its still smaller than the -4 line.

Just found the photo I was searching for.
Attached is a dry oil cooled bearing housing showing the internal oil restrictions. No additional restrictions should be added prior to the turbo. I apologize for the rust. We had this on display a couple of times in Carlisle.

Thats the picture I was looking for, you can see how running a restrictor before that turbo would hurt the thrust bearing a lot.
