    I have a tee off my oil pressure sensor port so it can feed the turbo but getting a oil leak from the tee under boost. I’m using Permatex thread sealant on the threads Anything better to use? Thanks

    Look into Resbond sealants. They have a high temp, oil resistant sealant.

    That Resbond is pretty expensive. Like $40 for a 4oz container. Hard to find also, you have any sites to buy it at? Don’t mind paying for it but just wanted to check if that was right. Thanks Steve

    Last time I bought any was 10+ years ago. There are other alternatives that cost less, but it's been a long time since I've needed to buy any. Now thread locker... I go through that!

    The stuff I’m using is white, Permatex thread sealant high temperature, I’ll find out pretty soon if it’s still blowing out on boost.
