Tightening that SS fitting on the tee is a BITCH. There's no way around it; you just gotta get your hands in between the block and the firewall and keep tightening with a small wrench.


I think you have the sequence wrong. The sequence for the oil feedline (working off of my memory).

block> tee adapter> stock oil pressure sensor> on other part of the tee, an adapter that reduces the inlet for the feedline > ss oil feedline on that reducer> then 90 degree elbow thingy > that goes onto the top of the turbo.

edit: this pertains to HRC kits btw. If your a star owner, disregard this post.

What J said but there is no 90 degree fitting that goes into the T. :wary Just the brass adapter that goes from T to SS line.

I ended up buying a 45* fitting to give me a better angle to attach the oil feed line for the turbo. The one that came with the kit just seemed to close to the back of the block itself and the oil feed line wouldn't thread straight on.

cool well, the things i got with the kit were (HRC kit)

adapter and 90' fitting for the turbo.. installed..


Oil sensor adaptor, a like 2/3 to 1/4 adaptor on top (those numbers are just a rough guess, i dont feel like measuring), then a 90' fitting on top of that that is supposed to point left to easier install the feed line.

but thanks, i guess i'll just have to take my sweet little time trying to get that sh*t on.
