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. |
