Oil feed Line Turbo Leaky
hey guys,
I can't seem to fix the turbo oil feed line on my GSR turbo. Im using 1/8 npt fitting to 4-an fittings to an -4an oil feed line. The feed line leaks from the -4an fittings on both ends, one where it meets the turbo and one where it meets the T fitting ont he block.I have done this before and it leaked and I couldn't figure out why? I used teflon tape even though install instruction say not to but it still leaks? What gives? If you have an oil press. gauge this is how they are installed as well let me know how yours turned out and what you did?

I have used teflon tape on all of my oil fittings and I have never had a problem with leaks. Just make sure the tape is well seated and the fitting tight and you shouldn't have a problem with leaks.
