<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by justinwipf &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote"> well it has an adapter that comes from a fitting that goes infront of your oil filter. this way you get filtered oil as well as a clean install. </TD></TR></TABLE>


FYI, after the oil goes through the oil filter, it goes to your pressure sensor (where most people tap)

On the oil pan, I always suggest putting the whole turbo kit on and leaving the pan on the motor until ever other part is on. Leave the drain hose hanging off the turbo, and just take a look at the pan and the position of the turbo. This visual should give you a good idea of how you can make the best sloped drain. Mark the pan, take it off, and drill.
