Thanks for the offer... managed to find a BSPT tap, and a brass plug to use until the gauge arrives.

Typically, I've run into other issues with this turbo swap... oil return lines are different, so I'm going to have to have something fabbed up. Plus, the air inlet and outlet on the turbo are quite a bit larger, so going to have to do something there too.

On top of that, I got tired of the contortions it took to reach underneath the turbo to access the bolts. The only other way at them was from underneath, which meant pulling the passenger axle.

I just put down my tools, I'm packing it in for the week. I'm on vacation, and don't need the frustration. I'll do yardwork instead.... weather's been nice and I want to be outside.
