I need to replace the 90* adapter between the Stinger feed line and turbo. It keeps leaking oil cause I cant get it tight enough while keeping the elbow facing in the right direction. I'd rather run a straight adapter but just need the thread pitches so I can order one. Anyone know?

The line isn't really long enough to run a straight fitting. If you alter the amount of teflon you have on the threads, you can alter what direction it faces when "tight". Regardless, they are 1/8NPT on one end and -4 AN on the other.

Thanks Stinger. I was under the impression that one shouldnt use teflon tape for fittings to the turbo in fear that it may clog up oil passages.

As a general rule, that is true. However, as long as you know how to properly install teflon so it's not hanging off the end of the fitting, or even on the first couple threads, there is no harm in using it. You can also use teflon paste.
