oil return line kit on a EX

Ok....I've been serching and contacting people for a oil return line kit for a T3. I have found little results on the net and i get answering machines . Ok...I need to know what u guys did. The people with Ex's, did you get a aluminum fitting for the oil pan? Does the kit from fast-turbo.com come with a aluminum fitting or bung? i get such scattered answeres and I need a clear consise answer on this to help me get this one last piece.....well I also need the sizes of silicone couplers for a SF kit.....replacing the SF couplers with silicone and I need the total # of couplers and correct sizes....I have been searching for that and haven't come up with anything immediately. Thanks for the help...links or pics or anything related directly would be great!

hmm.......how bout this fitting.

Just buy a npt tap and drill your pan. Put thread sealer on the threads and put some JB weld around it.

Also, this return hose would work great with that fitting, it is resistant against high temps.

Or, you can get really elaborate and spend the big bucks

That is about $70 plus shipping......but would be one hell of a sweet set-up
