Default Oil Feed from the front of the Block?

Has anyone run an oil feed to the turbo from the front of the block (next to the VTEC switch). I know most people run it from the oil pressure sending unit, but has anyone tried running it from the front of the block? Will it mess with VTEC on a B18C1?

Just trying to figure out a clean way to run the line without going around the block.

someone already tried it and said it wasn't a good idea because of too much pressure when vtec was engaged
