Default Oil Pressure and turbo oil return fittings.

Here are some fittings we offer now. The oil drain fitting will be included in all hi mount kits. The hose bard size is a -8. No clamp is needed the push lock hose is good for 200 psi. And trust me the only way to get the hose off is to cut it off, you can not pull it loose.
The oil pressure can be added for an extra charge. This allows you to access oil pressure with out the worries of drilling and tapping you stock cover.

Either fitting can be purshased for 23.00 + freight.

Those look like some nice pieces Have you ever run into problems with the oil drain being too small at a -8? I run -10 and was told that I should be running -12

Wow, nice fittings!

Chris, I run a -12... not sure its necessary but after the problems I had with C5's an gravity fed drains I overkilled my drain setup on the truck. Also, the Garrett cartridges, at least the 60-1 I had, have 3/4" diameter drains... and I decided not to step my drain down in size.

NOPE, lol
The oil drain has a good verticle drop helping the oil get away. We have had a customer in sub zero weather that needed a 10 but they also changed the oil at the same time so not sure the large hose was needed. I know the cars need a big line but they are usually do not have the drop us truck guys get on the turbos.
