I think its a 1/8" npt-at that size it looks like a fine thread.

 

[northerngn]

so 1/8 pipe to -6?

-4 should be plenty.
1/8" npt is correct for a regular journal bearing turbo. If you have a newed double ball bearing. You'll need a fancy metric fitting with built in restriction.
This is PTE, not sure about Tnetics.

1/8-4. Too much oil can be bad news on the turbo. get a restrictor if you have a lot of oil pressure.

my bad i got my numbers mixed up
i have -4an loked on jegs and -6 looks waaaay bigger

I switched to-3 on my setup. I'd been running that on my PTE journal bearing turbo's for over 60k on my Talon with no oiling issues. I switched the GN to it since -4 is not needed and I get some smoke which I attribute to the turbo's oil seal.
