I've been searching but I can't find anything on this. If this is a repost, for the love of god I am sorry, I just simply can't find anything about it. Anyways..

Obviously we have 2 ways people tend to run their oil feed lines:

1. Oil sandwich plate
2. T-fitting

What are the pros and cons of each? I'm putting together a setup and can't decide/figure out what to go with.

Share personal or direct experiences please, no "he said she said" stuff.

Feel free to comment on ANY aspect on why one way is better/worse then the other.

I T'd my oil feed line off the Oil Pressure sender. I ran a firewall mount kit on which i T'd my -3an feed line and -6an LS/VTEC line. It looks pretty clean and was easy to install. I thought about going with the Oil Sandwich, but this method was much cheaper and IMO easier. To find the setup i bought, go to http://www.stealthmodeperformance.com

I use the oil pressure sender location cause it supplies filtered oil.

On my previous setup i used a common sandwitch plate, which supplies unfiltered oil, and noticed a lot of metal shavings (of the fresh build block) in the VTEC solenoid filter (b20VTEC with external oil line to the head) and in the oil restrictor of the turbo.

i was reading about that, apparently certain sandwich plates have filters, while others do not.
