Default Running Oil feed from sandwich

Hey guys, I seem to have an issue. I have a golden eagle oil sandwich and I would like to run my turbo feed from it. The port on the sandwich is a #8 O-Ring (I think a -8AN fitting will fit here), but my feed line is a -3AN. I can't seem to find a #8 to -3 fitting!

For those that are running a sandwich, how did you do it!?

It seem like golden eagle made the oil sandwich plate just for the ls/vtec and b20/vtec. You're best bet is to look for an adapter fitting for it.

How did you miss the 1/8 NPT port? A 1/8 NPT to -3AN adapter is more common.

My oil sandwich came with a plug for the big port that has a 1/8 NPT port in the middle of the plug. Their should also be another 1/8 NPT port on the sandwich itself.

I use one to feed the turbo and the other for the oil pressure sending unit

GE sells the plugs seperate on their website.

yeah, i had 2 ports on mine, i got one plugged and one feeding my turbo. then i got my sending unit for my oil pressure in the block (what is the point in having an oil light that comes on to late? id rather know the pressure at all times.).

but also, another question to add.... g.e. said that the oil is filtered before going to the feed line, but i had to have my turbo rebuilt because metal flakes was getting to my turbo through the oil?
