Default i was wondering if this oil line feed would work?

i was thinking about using the greddy oil block adapter( the sandwich one between the block and the filter) and connecting a feed line to it with a restrictor valve?has anyone run a setup like this....the thing is i dont wanna put alot of strain on the oil pressure switch also i know ive seen the pics but has anyone run the firewall set up?if so exactly which parts are used is this a safer setup?
need some real help here...im in the middle east and this is being installed by my brother....between him and his friends they got the entire kit on except this part and i told them do not even try to start the car until everything is on....anyways here is a rundown of my set up
JDM D15B SOHC VTEC
Greddy TD04H-15G turbo
Fast-Turbo.com oil lines(SS braided)

The ports are 1/8" BSPT so if you want to use NPT fittings you need a BSPT->NPT adapter. You can get one for cheap in the SunPro Oil Gauge adapter kit you can get at autozone.

I talked to Stan the fitting man a long time ago abbout this cause I also have the Greddy sandwich adapter. He said that a male 1/8" NPT should be able to screw into a female 1/8" BSPT port without leaking. However a male 1/8" BSPT into a female 1/8" NPT port would leak. Check with Stan ( Flamenco-T( to be sure I didn't get it backwards or something.

EDIT

To the original poster, if you haven't gotten a sandwich plate yet, get the GE which should have NPT ports or the one ndogg linked to.
