MAP oil feed line - wrong adapter?

The supplied MAP oil feed kit for the EF3 turbos - comes with flexible line, inline oil filter, etc. I'm installing my EF3 and the adapter that threads into the head is WAY too big. Did MAP give me the wrong adapter? There is no way the adapter is going to thread into the head, without using an additional adapter.

Otherwise, I'm stuck re-using the stock oil feed lines.

Our feed line is for the oil filter housing sir, or are you referring to the cylinder head block off plug that is included?

Got it figured out with the help of my new buddy Frew, from Pittsburgh. Crisis averted.

However, one suggestion for MAP - publish some good written instructions for the install. I know, I know, the new turbo goes in the same as the old one comes out. But some instructions would be nice.
