tapping threads on oil in/out on a kkk turbo?

[Marc A Swanson <mswanson@cisunix.unh.edu>]

I was planning on replacing the oil lines leading up to the turbo by
welding a male hose fitting onto the "flange" that bolts up to the stock
location on the top and bottom of the turbo when I thougth about
something..

How much metal is there in between the oil openings on the top and bottom
of the turbo before reaching something like a water passage?  Thought it
would be a lot easier to just tap some threads into the housing and get a
male to male adapter much like how the coolant lines are hooked
up.  Anyone care to offer up thougts on this?
