Take it to a metalwork/engineering place.

 

[matress]

take ur turbo down to see ATP.. he has them on the shelf and will charge you about 5 - 10$ instead of the guys who have to CAD etc.. then cut it they will charge you about $50 for a one off.

no need to make it dude

is it the shape of the stocky?
i have a contact who has a massive range of oil drain fittings.. makes them for avo / nispro etc etc...

let me know the shape and ill chase it up for you.

just weld the bit of pipe you have onto the flange that you already have .........

 

[matress]

i don't have the original flange, i swapped it for the pipe i have now.

i still have the gasket though.

it's the same shape as the ones that gtpumps sell for the bullseye turbo.

it's a PTE flange

 

[bazeng]

dont PTE use the stock lines?

 

[matress]

apparently not!

the bolt holes on the flange on the turbo are much further apart than the standard ones.

These are the original flanges that came with his turbo. The PTE flange is on the left and too big for a Garret/Mitsu turbo oil drain. The only problem is its made from billet alloy and has got a -10AN fitting on it. Mattress tried connecting it to his setup but the -10AN fittings are massive and foul on the VR4 engine mount which meant he couldnt use it. We didnt know the PTE had a larger flange until we changed over and went 'ah crap'. Mattress, if you want the PTE fitting sent back to you in the mail I can do that for you as I dont need it. You might be able to have someone cut off the -10AN off and place a pipe in its stead but I'm not too sure as alloy welding is a bitch.

Bazeng, I am looking for a Mitsu/Garrett oil drain flange with a -10AN male fitting on it ASAP - If your mate has one of them I'll grab it
