Default Turbo oil feed hose, help needed!

Hi all, i have a braided oil feed hose for my turbo but cant seem to find the right connector to fit it at the turbo end





Could someone post a pic up of how its connected on theirs or show me what im missing, Burton power sold me the wrong connector bit and i dont really want another wasted journey

This is the only thing thats holding me up now

Thanks for looking

Hiya bud, pretty sure there's an elbow that goes on there, which the oil feed you have will screw on to! I'll try and get a pic later!

Another pic



The union at the top is the one burtons gave me, the one at the bottom connected to the hose came off a XR2 Turbo Technics turbo but the other end is too big to fit into my turbo

Ideally i need the larger end on one side the the smaller thread on the other, have made enquiries but i would like to know what i should have before making any more wasted journeys

I had trouble getting one of these last year. I got one from Graham Goode Racing (0116 244 0080) in the end. Cost about £3.
