Default Can i feed both turbo and vtec from oil pressure sensor?

Here is my plan i have 2 3/8 npt lines, one will plug direct to the oil pressure plug and 2 1/8npt tees that will be mounted to the firewall, from that tee i will plug in another 3/8th npt oil line that will feed the head, and on the other tee plug in the oil pressure sensor and the turbo feed line. Now the question i have will i be able to provide the pressure needed to bothe the head and turbo with this setup? its like this picture but instead at the top of the tee i will feed the turbo.

yes that will work. but its not going to be giving as much oil to the head with having all them T's etc etc. donno how long that will last.. i would invest in a sandwich plate.

All those brass pieces are bound to snap anyway. I would do a sandwich plate for at least one of the two sources needing oil.

sandwhich plate.....feed the turbo and head from there. Much cleaner and will save you from possible headaches in the future when all those brass fittings take a dump.

I had 100 issues because of that setup. I switched to a Sandwich adapter and my problems went away. I had to replace my cams and rocker assembly
