Looks awesome guys, this is a really nice solution for the kit.

I noticed you are using NPT threading on the oil sensor ports. The stock pressure sensor is BSP and it's not usually a good idea to mix the two threads, even though they are very close. Don't over tighten or you will strip or snap threads on your sensor. Make sure to use PTFE tape on all fittings that aren't AN as well.

McMaster-Carr sells NPT to BSP adapters for cheap too if you want to play it safe.

Looks great. Does the old vacuum block attach to this system?

In for this.

I know my fast-turbo kit came with a BSP to NPT for the block fitting but the brass T they ship is also NPT threaded

Yes, you can mount the ptuning kit's vac block over to the new system if you wish.

Although I thought I read somewhere that this adapter was included as a complete kit?

Ptuning please clarify so I can order the correct adapter elsewhere since I need to get this up and going asap before my tune!

We supply the male bspt x male flare fitting for the oil feed on the block. If you are using the oem oil pressure sensor, simply use the first front facing npt port as shown on the picture. You should not have any issues. Use Teflon sealant or tape on all taper threads and don't overtighten. If you must have a male npt x female bspt adaptor to mount your oem pressure sensor, then you will need to source it yourself--I don't think one exist. But if you do track one down let us know. We can always custom build those but the limited demand will make it a bit expensive.

Here's the malt npt x female bspt adaptor if you need it. It's not cheap

Everything you will need to feed the oil to the block for the sensor is included. You will however need to supply the oil feed line from the odb to your turbo. If you are using it with the ptuning turbo system, you will simply reuse the oil feed line from our kit.

Perfect! I figured it would be as complete as reasonably possible.
Thanks for the reply. Looking forward to putting this on!

Looks beautiful and I am definitely looking to buy one. My only concern is fitment with my Greddy Kit. I guess I need to see the installation instructions to see if it will work with my setup.

MrC, I found a cheaper source for the female 1/8BSP to male 1/8NPT adapter, about 5 bucks a piece in case anyone is interested: Go to McMaster-Carr and type in part number 4860K151. Hope that helps!

And the only reason I brought this up is because I snapped a sensor a long time ago trying to mate different threads and I wish someone would have given me a heads up.

Thanks steve for the info, unfortunately that part is a BSPP female thread to male npt. It needs to be BSPT female thread to male npt. BSPP is a parallel thread, hence the last P. Where as BSPT is a tapered thread, hence the last T. Those two are not interchangeable. We spent quite a bit of time searching for the BSPT female x NPT male and it's not very common, hence the huge price difference over other adaptors.
