Turbo oil supply line
I was wondering what kind of fittings should I use for the oil supply for my turbo. Is there someone that makes the right size and thread T fitting that will go into the block.

the only reason that the tee was conceive as bad idea was becasue noone was making a BSPT adapter for the thread on the back of the block where the stock oil pressure sender is. ALL Of the tee that is a street style ( one male and 2 female) all uses NPT standard which are 27 thread pitch (versus British who uses 28 Tpi)
So you're basically cross threading the thread on the block by screwing the tee which have the NPT thread.
My kit and almost other kit out there nowadays comes with the BSPT converter, the adapter will thread in perfectly, easily and all the way to the block just like the stock oil pressure sender is.
If you're running a single oil feed line, then the tee is the most cost effective and efficient way of doing it. If you are running an oil pressure gauge such as the autometer which are known to be very heavy, then I would suggest going with the firewall mounted tee..
