im not too familiar with sizes in mm when it comes to hose connection sizes, for the xud m16 1.5 connections I believe you will need 8-AN hose to fit.
will you be running an oil pressure gauge?
if so my research so far has got me needing:
3ft 8-AN braided hose
8-AN m16 1.5 straight autofit hose end for the block end
8-AN m16 1.5 autofit hose end 90 degree elbow (turbo end, your turbo might be a different size fitting)
for the pressure gauge:
17mm hex nipple tee m16 1.5
17mm female pipe tee m16 1.5
17mm m16 1.5 male to female pipe busing
i think thats everything apart from the tools required to make it, il screw the tee piece into the block then run the hose to the turbo from the top of that so theres no sharp angle to worry about then run the pipe to the gauge from the other side through the bulkhead.
obviously that is for my gearbox mounted setup, you wont need nearly as much hose for a block mounted turbo
