sup guys,
I was wondering whether all oil feed lines are tapped at the same place. I made a homemade turbo kit and tied into the oil pressure sensor area, but I was wondering if this is the same place that is tapped on all turbo setups, and the drag setup in particular. I have a new motor out of the car and I am thinking I should but a oil line on while its out and it will save me a shitload of work when I get the new setup. Will I be able to use a homemade oil feed line on a drag kit, or do I have to install the drag specific feed line. Thanks guys, Im just trying to save myself time.
thanks again.

I'd say 95% of turbo feeds are ran off the oil pressure sensor. Some people have tapped the head, and I'm sure others have tapped other places.
You can use any oil line with any turbo kit you want. The only difference is going to be:


The thread size on the oil inlet of X turbo
and
Are you going to have enough length to reach where X turbo kit's turbo placement is?

The only other thing you'll need to do if you are going to install the feedline ahead of the kit is to block off the feedline until the turbo goes on. To do this I usually take a piece of brake hose and clamp it onto the end fitting of the feedline, then stick a bolt into the other side of the brake line and clamp that side as well. good luck

Thanks stealth,
that was exactly what I needed to know. I appreciate the help and will try and let you know how things work out with it.

thanks again

you can also get a oil filter sandwich adapter....GE makes one.....that is another alternative
