Ill cut to the chase.

1. Where should i tap the oil send for the turbo ("on the block" isnt very descriptive)

2. do i have to use a restrictor to protect my turbo- prelude run a higher than normal oil pressure.

3. any advice on priming the turbo/ what to do the first time i fire up the car? thanks.

on the back of your block near the oil filter you will find you oil sender remove it and put a "T" in its place re hook up you sender to one side of the t and then the othe rside is your oil feed to turbo....as far as restrictors my experience is depending what brand turbo you are useing turbonetics and innovative seem to be a little bitchy when you feed them to much pres(especially ball bearing turbos) and some people say to use a certain size line to feed it. my experience is use a -4 line feed some say -3 but whatever i havent had a prob with the -4.as far as priming the turbo hook evrything up and just before u start it manually feed oil into the turbo either through the turbo inlet itself or through the new -4 line that u installed to feed the turbo i usaully take a old style oil can and feed it with that then u could just crank the motor without letting it turn over (by removing the coil wire or whatever ) for a couple of seconds until u see oil pressure build up on your gauge
