Default Turbo oil supply line where should it go?????

Ok i just got my oil supply and return line in today from Tony at importpalace the supply line come's off the back off the head behind the distributer where there is a allen head plug from the factory is this a safe palce to tap into the oil supply for my turbo? I dont know how to host any pics of it but if someone can ill send them pics if they can host them for me so that everyone can see.

I would not tap it into the head area, the oil pressure is not constant and and may increase a chance of oil starvation to the turbo.

All my customer's kit use the block by the oil pump as the source, therefore there will be a constant flows and pressure as well..

Ok i just got off the phone with Tony at importpalace and i was misinformed the supply does come off the head but it come's directly from underneath the distributer he say's you remove one of the factory plugs and get the oil from there. I am open to suggestions because if you guys feel this is not safe then i will get something else. Thanks for some input Flamenco-T

Again, the head does not always have a constant oil pressure, the block does that's why the oil pressure sener are there.

There was a few discussions about this and many had concluded it.
