You require the ball bearing.
You mean in the feed itself ? As they look like they both have a restrictor
On the end ?

Could just be a generic picture.
Reason i hate buying anything from ebay.

What i needed was a feed an6 - m10x1

Had to buy a small adapter too.

Oil feed to suit x1

the links I put up come with Newage avcs fitting direct, so I don't think it should have the same issue you had although I no what u mean about eBay But if you look at the pics u can see the oil feed plugs direct on to the avcs / turbo oil feed on car...

Yours was originally designed for a sub with no avcs and you have had to modify it to fit where as this one looks like it's plug and play ( I hope )

Hard to explain this.


The hardline it claims to replace also goes to avcs on the block. So dont see how it does that.

I hope it works for ya but if u look at the pictures i put up u myt see.

Thers a banjo on the block which goes to two things. Up to turbo and around to block.

That's why one end should have a 12x1 female for the block side like said earlier. All you need is to find out the thread of the turbo then it'll be easy if it's like a garret it'll be 7/16ths but you'll have to check.

Both feeds posted look good, we can make you an oil feed with stainless steel ends.

We can supply a male/ male garret adapter or a garret restrictor bolt for a banjo whichever is preferred.
