Ok so I'm now well into my turbo conversion and I'm trying to figure out what to do with the oil cooler.
Rather than relocate the filter I have simply rotated it and am gonna run with a shorter oil filter so that it fits (cos relocation kits are expensive). Basically the turbo manifold I have sits too close to allow the oil cooler pipes to fit into the filter housing. What I really need is the same threaded fitting but with a nice tight 90 degree angle on them.......anyone have any idea what size thread it is so that I can try to find some.
Thanks for the help

the thread is m22x1.5
you will need to get a double male adapter and then fit a female 90 degree - there are direct female 90 degs but they tend to be expensive - the mocal catalogue is worth having a look through

some people just bend the original oil cooler pipes to fit
