Ok I'm trying to identify a couple of threads (size & pitch) regarding the turbo and original setup so I can determine what adaptors I need to fit my new braided line.

First off what is the male thread of the large adaptor/spacer which screws onto the banjo which is bolted to the front of the block?
For reference see the picture below, its fairly obvious which part I'm on about.
(Also Raj you may recognise the pic! I didnt have one to hand so borrowed yours, royalties on their way mate....)

The second is the oil inlet of the standard T2 turbo?

Ok after removing the standard oil line today it turns out the adpator/spacer indicated in the picture is the same thread as the banjo bolt going into the block, so anyone know what the thread of the block is?

Also still after the thread for the T2 inlet....

Nice one mate thanks.

With regards to the T2 thread perhaps this picture will help?

The male - male adaptor connects to the oil feed hose and into the T2 thread the same on both sides just don't know what it is.

If no one knows i'll perhaps be able to find out what it is in the machine shop on base.

Ok just for reference the T2 to oil line adaptor thread is 1/2" BSP.
