The fittings for the oil feed line are not the same on both ends. The stock hardline for the oil feed does use the same banjo fitting, but the actual banjo bolts that go through the fittings are different. The block side banjo bolt is the same thickness on both the threaded and non-threaded section of it. The turbo banjo bolt is thinner on the threaded section, and thicker on the non threaded section.
Both coolant lines have the same ends though.
The stainless oil feed line I have use the factory banjo bolt through a banjo fitting on the block, and an AN fitting on the turbo.
I'm 99% sure that the thread pitch on the block side is 12x1.5. Pretty sure that the turbo side is -3 10x1.25, but not positive. I am positive however that the fittings are different sizes for the oil feed line.
Why don't you just take the lines off, and take them to a hose/hydraulics parts store? They'll be able to get you the fittings you need cheap, and could even just fab the lines up for you.
So how do plan to remove and replace the lines? All of the fittings for the lines, that connect directly to the turbo are an absolute slut to remove and replace, with the exhaust manifold & turbo still bolted to the engine. And even worse without a vehicle hoist.
