Where they're talking about tapping the oil pan is for the return line from the turbo, so that the oil goes back into circulation.

Either way, don't tap/thread the oil pan itself. Get the proper bung, weld that in, then thread the fitting in, that way it is done correctly.

where do i purchace the neccessary stuff to do the oil return line?
