k24 oil feed line diameter

Hy! Somebody knows the diameter of the oil feed line to turbo?
The oem one.
Thank You!

[Pirvu Eugen]

Yes Adam...this is the idea...i prefer to keep that plug there and just block'it off in place off replace.
I think i will use an aluminum bung with 2 hose clips and a piece of hose.
I thought that i can find an specific plug....pressure and heat resistant. But...anyhow.
Thank You!
All the best!

You will just need a standard blank core plug as the return is a core plug with with a nozzle on. Although it might be better just to block the pipe off rather than knock the plug out in case you ever want to revert back to water cooled

turbo cooling line blanking plug

Because i will use an oil cooled turbo....i need to plug the water return line to the block.
What do you use?
Thank You!
All the best!

Measured the crank and rods clearence...all into 0.05mm...nice.

[Pirvu Eugen]

Off...At last...i started building my engine.
I painted the block with por15 engine enamel....looks pretty good.
Hope will run sweeetttt!

I am going to use the old 200 dashboard for the more Sport Quattro look...but..the fuel gauge is in liters....up to 80 as the 200 was.
Can somebody guide me in the right direction to change the face of that gauge with the 1, 1/2 and R readings in place of the old one?
Thank You!
All the best!

In place of cleaning some panels...i considered that is better to cut them of....
What do you think? Has somebody else tried this? I have searched but without success.
Is the A4 clima into type 85 coupe.

[Pirvu Eugen]

Inside, engine bay and under...i will use por15....the problem is on the panels which will be painted....i know i have to use an primer to protect the metal untill will be sent to body shop for painting..but i don't know which one.
Can you, please, recommend me an good one.
I saw on 3M site that the etch primer is best....but they have 2 types. 1 for bare metal and one for over paint.
Can you tell me please what to do?
Thank You!
All the best!
