Well i think i can tell you what it's not but i know that won't help you a whole lot.

I know its not NPT or BPT (what the oil sender is.)

This is the same hole they use for feeding coolant to the turbo on some of the stock DET's and they just use a banjo style bolt there to hook it up. My best *guess* would be an M10x1.0

Best bet would be to pull it out and take it to a hose and hydraulics place and see if they could get an adapter for ya from whatever thread that is to the 1/8th inch NPT that you will need for the guage.

Problem solved!

Right behnd the thermostat where the water pipe goes intot he motor, a lilk outlet branches off to a rubber hose that takes water to the turbo... why i did was i got an inline fitting with an 1/8" thread in the iidle and screwed the sensor int here, and cut the hose and stuck it in the middle of it =)

Rick;

I like that idea, really I do. As you know, I'm about to hook up a T28 on my '93, and have been perusing the different approaches to water/oil hookups. Never thought of this one.

Hmmm. Thanks for the tip!
