yes another N/a to turbo question

Hey guys an s5 car and motor (n/a) i will be throwing all the turbo2 stuff on the motor manifolds, turbo etc all the stock parts

the question i have is do i need to run an oil restricter on the feed for the turbo im going to pull the oil feed from the Oil pressure sensor (Just a Tee) I dont like the idea of a sandwich plate

and the sensor thread is it BPT? (british pipe thread) Or NPT (national pipe thread)

thanks guys

No need for an oil restricter, and the thread pitch is probably metric.

It's BPT which has 28 threads per inch compared to standard pipe thread which has 27.
I've found them to be interchangeable.
