NPT oil inlet to turbo,what to use?

[Lighthouse]

Right..here goes! This can be funny, but i'll try and sort it out using basic english
On my new Precision turbo there is 1/8NPT threads to the oil inlet..Usually I would use thread tape or Loctite 577 IF it not was fitted in a hot area.. SO, what should I use when I am fitting the oil inlet fitting?

You can get high temperature liquid PTFE, however, I just used PTFE tape, as although the exhaust gasses are hot, the water should keep the body cool enough.

I do not have a water inlet on my turbo but have you spotted any leaks on your turbo?

[madpugger]

There were on the water side, which is why I then used thread tape!

Not used it enough yet to comment sorry.

Ordered a fitting from KRB Trading and found some Loctite to use

[terrybullwon]

So, what number did you use? Every 500-series loctite is rated up to 150 degrees C, except for Loctite 582 which goes to 200 degrees.
