Hey guys

My 01 is supercharged via Vortech SQ.
Last week I noticed that the t-fitting that comes from the oil filter and connects to the oil line for the SC was really loose.
Soon enough it just fell off.
I tried screwing it back in when I noticed that over half of the threaded bolt broke off and was stuck inside the oil filter housing.

Can I get this t-fitting(what size?) separately and what about the housing?

Thanks
Patrick

That's the problem.

I'm stationed overseas in Germany and I doubt they have our sizes here.

you'll need a new housing, get one from a Romeo engine out of a 1996 to 1998 or 2001 to 2004 Mustang.
not sure why yours would have had a "T" on it? as the Romeos have an extra port on the housing that you can use for a oil feed line

Really?

I dunno..like I said the Vortech kit probably came with the t-fitting and the previous owner put it in.

So an '01 has an extra oil feed hole?
Where is it located on the housing?
Is there a plug in it?

BTW, anybody know how I could could that broken off piece of threading inside the housing out?
I can't drill it out because I'm afraid I might damage the housing as there isn't much inside to grab.

yes on the Romeo's there extra hole, it has a 3/8" pipe plug in it.
if it does not then it could be off a Windsor which has only 1 port(for the sender).

It's probably a windsor.

Because the guy who had the car knew his stuff and I doubt he would go through the trouble of installing the t-fitting if he didn't have to.

Where can I get a Romeo housing?

I'm in Germany so I can't find any stangs on junkyards.

I'd have to order it but where?

Thanks
Patrick
