the first pic is my old tubo, the second pic is the turbo i bought from HancoB, and the 3rd pic is apparently what i need.
The threads of the two turbos are different....not by alot, but just enough to make things not work
new issue...

the pipe you need is the stock oil feed pipe from a ca18det.
and the second pic looks like a stock oil inlet hole.
so it seems that your last turbo wasnt a stock (factory) one???
anyway - its easy enough to solve.
1. find a pipe like that, but in your search look out for OIL SLUDGE (probably from some moron who ran mineral oil for too long). also look out for ANY kinks in that pipe. its a skinny one, and you dont want any kind of restriction for the oil feed.
2. go to a hydraulics place and ask them to make you an oil feed pipe. make sure the materials they use can handle the high temperatures. here you have two options:
2.1 another hard pipe like the stock one.
2.2 a flexible braided hose - like most upgraded ones.
none of these should be hellishly expensive!
