You don't have to worry about it clogging anything up and restricting oil flow.

its better to get more threads in for sure. dont do anything els till you clean those threads out with a tap, you could end up just doing more harm than good.
btw here is a better pic but its preinstall of turbo kit (didnt keep the filter for long so i dont want to hear it from anyone...lol)

oh and about taping it you may get some shards that may fall into the engine...so by all means be carefull with it and remember that those are tappered threads to by tapping it you will widen it out which will help for a standard 1/8th fitting to fit better if you go all the way. but again you run a high risk of getting shards into the engine so try not to go all the way but far enough to be able to get more than 2 threads on that coupling.
