sure, you have to buy a oil fitting that you need for the turbo (6-7$), then weld the end of it shut, get a drill bit in .063" (5$) and drill a hole in the center of the welded area.. that will decrease the oil pressure enough to be safe... Or spend 15 bucks online and get it and KNOW it will work perfectly.

When I needed fittings I always brought my turbo in and went through the drawers trying stuff out.

Or is yours attached to the car?

McMaster is the most amazing company i have ever dealt with. They let you return cut pieces of hose ffs.. Usually same day shipping, the list goes on.

For ANY DIY project on just about anything, McMaster has you covered. If you have figure out how to navigate their site you will benefit.

If you can't surf Mcmaster, your best bet is to simply take off all your clothes and run into on coming traffic
