Well I have only seen this done once before, but I have a ls/vtec turbo setup I am putting together, I already have the mess at the oil sender for ls/vtec so I am trying a low pressure oil source at the vtec oil pressure check spot on the side of the solenoid on the front of the motor. I am trying this for lack of mess, the line is only 15in long, and I have heard a lot of complaints of too much oil pressure from the oil pressure sender blowing turbo seals, so this is a low pressure oil source. I am just wanting opinions on this setup, the guy I got the idea from didn't have any problems with vtec ingaging, so I dunno, the only thing I am worried about is how much a turbo actually requires to stay adequately lubricated.

i believe that there is not enough oil press. there and youll burn up the turbo. you could always hook a guage to it and run the car to check the pressure there.

they make a piec that sanwiches it self between your block and the oil filter and there is 2 oil lines u can tap off from that

i believe there was a tread on this, that oil port is for the vtec engagment, if you tap there you will not make the press for vtec to pop. i think
