Default ls Vtec turbo?

I am putting a turbo in my LS Vtec but I am having trouble finding were to connect the oil feed line for the turbo. I already have an oil line coming off of the oil pressure sending unit by the oil filter. Should I run a T fitting off of that line or is there another spot that I could go with. I am also looking for waste gate, I dont know much about them but I herd that certain waste gates let you boost lower than a normal one would. If any one knows what I'm talking, could you help me out?

I always put a T on the oil pressure unit on the back of the block ran one to the turbo and the other to the autometer gauge. I dont think you should run it off the sandwich plate for the ls-vtec your head needs all the oil it can get ...about the wastegate there are different spring's inside them to control your boost unless you running a boost controller...
you should probley research more before you turbo if your asking questions like this

the T fitting I have right now is running oil to my head, would it hurt anything if I put the oil feed to the turbo from that?

I think that it would hurt your oil pressure to your head by having some T's in it, I would also want to know how to do this because I will be in the same position you are in. Is it a bad idea to run an electronic oil pressure gauge? Bump
