Default Hey Jack (BB Turbonetics and oil feed line)

I had to use a brass 45° 1/8 x 1/8 NPT between the turbo filter and the brass flare fitting to work with my oil feedline. Is this ok?

Of course that's fine, as long as the oil gets through. Ya know, if you polish the fittings, it aids in spoolup. ;-)

11.3@123mph on 195/75/14" whitewalls. Yes, 195s!
11.2 on the big giant slicks. What's the point? Maybe I'll go back to the whitewalls. They are lighter and have less rolling resistance.

If you value your hood liner, I suggest you upgrade the to silicone adapters and t-bolt clamps.

I run a heat shield but where can you get the silicone adapters and t-bolt clamps.

I meant that when one of your hose clamps blows off and tears up the hood liner you may be pissed lol....
I'm sure Jack should be able to help out out in that department, well worth the investment for sure!
