I have pretty much every thing sorted now just where do you get the oil feed from and what diameter oil line would be sufficient?

the next size up from the orifice in the turbo will be sufficient. |

put a t piece where your oil sender is so you still have the oil sender as well as oil supply to turbo |

I originally ran a brass t-piece like described, but it broke after a couple of years, oil spewed out everywhere, could have caused some real damage if I never noticed my oil pressure drop.
you can however simply hook into the engine oil gallery, there are 4 or 5 fitting on the bottom/side of the block where the standard oil pressure switch screws in.
I now use one of these tap in points for oil pressure switch, one for the oil pressure sender for a guage, and one for the turbo oil feed. |
