    Looks like a GM type setup, so either the turbo has a hydraulic fitting or a AN, most likely its still 1/8" pipe thread into the turbo.

    its looks like that fitting on the oil switch entension on the front of the block and the turbo. my friend says its just a single flare on the line and thats all i need is a line and to bend and flare it

    Yeah, its like a brake line flare on the hose side. If just using a new line, like a braided unit, you can just get a new 1/8 to -4 AN fitting.

    The turbo feed line looks to be a flare, similiar to a brake line, so if you are wanting to replace the whole line, you get a braided line, -4, then the turbo most likely use's a 1/8 pipe thread so you get a 1/8 to -4 fitting, the oil distribution side, either another pipe plug or find the inverted flare adapter and use the stock spot. Make sense?

    No the fitting into the IHI turbo is not NPT pipe, It's metric. I hate to tell you this Tom but it's a very odd pitch tapered thread. I ended up borrowing one from another TD guy when I got my parts car back up and running. Mine was cross threaded when I bought my 16V parts car.
    Good luck cause your gonna need it. Maybe one of our vendors can supply this, or focus on someone that rebuilds IHI turbos. Forget the hardware, hydraulic fitting stores, cause I've been there and done that.

    We rebuild the Maserati IHI turbos also. I will look through our cores to see if we have one so we can figure out the size and pitch of the oil supply line fitting.
