Hi all,

Just trying to finally get my GT3076 plumbed in at last and I'm having trouble trying to get the correct fitting for the oil feed hose to go on to it.

It's got a standard oil feed hose on it but it's way to big for the fitting that I've been supplied.

Does anyone know what fitting I'd need to fit?

Cheers!

 

It grips me that company's don't supply them with the turbo.
Try Think automotive Gary or ring Owen developments

 

Manufacturers are money grabbing arseholes!! Where is the customer service these days... Try treating people well and they'll not only return, but also reccomend. Winge over

 

Alright Matt, how's things?

This turbo has caused me no end of grief!!

Got sold totally the wrong spec which Tony @ Turbosystems ended up sorting out for me as the company couldn't be arsed to deal with me!

I wish I'd taken Tony's advice now and just fitted a T4 instead!!

I did get a fitting supplied with it but it seems like the fitting is for a -4 fitting instead of the standard one.

I may just get a -4 fitting instead, I've got to shorten the hose slightly anyway!

 

I did get a fitting but the hose doesn't fit it.

 

Had mine from scs Harvey Gibbs.

 

I feel your pain mate, i've been through the same problem with my gt30'd T4.
The actual oil inlet into the turbo itself is an M11 thread but the other female is normally a .4, i ended up making up my own brass sleeve and bolting on one of the fittings for a tenner you can get off the bay.
If you need a shorter hose let me know, i've got a few i don't need, thanks to idiot suppliers who give the wrong size hoses...

 

Nice one, cheers mate!

 

I may just get a -4 fitting tbh as at the moment, it looks like the easier option!

I can't understand why the hose I've got is so bloody long! It's too long by about 8 inches! Surely it's not that hard to make it the right length!!

Cheers for the offer on the hose mate!

 

I built my own hose and filter and had to have a custom fitting/restrictor made to clear everything

 

Yeah I saw that mate, looks very neat!

Mines already got a restrictor built in to it, just can't seem to get the right fitting to fit to the turbo!

I wish I'd gone the T4 route now, still might yet!!

 

All you need is a fitting made - i got mine done for £20 but it's longer than what you need.

All you need is a fitting made with a M11 thread on the base with a 1mm bore, then a 1/4bsp top to fit your existing hose. Really simple for anyone that has access to an engineer with a lathe
