I need to know this too - the threaded hole for the banjo bolt is M14 x 1.5 but I’m getting mixed messages as to what size the hole for the oil feed should be?

This is what I did Justin. It works and is adjustable for oil flow near the gauge (so you can fine tune per turbo bearing oil clearance). That's a temp sensor on the T.

I was lucky enough to have a 951 template. Maybe someone can measure the hole for you. I found a drill bit that matched the hole size in the existing 951 housing and used that.

The hole in my factory upper cover is .180 inches not mm. Was told by Lindsey the tap for the banjo bolt 12 x1.5 NOT. 14 x1.5
