Greddy or Golden Eagle oil sandwich adapter. Some people on here sell them.

It is possible to supply oil from the oil pump, but it requires the Z10 type fitting. Plus it is a real tight fit between the oil pump and the alternator. It is unfiltered oil also. IMO it is not a good way.

The better way is (like previously suggested) to use one of the oil filter snadwich adapters. Golden Eagle gets my 1st vote; it uses filtered oil and comes with the fitting for your cyl head (LSVT) or can just be used for turbo supply. The greddy and ACautotechna get my second votes. The Golden Eagle is nice, works well, and is not that expensive.

The block can also be drilled and tapped in the oil pressure galley, Should be done when engine is torn down though and much easier to drill and prep,clean etc. then cramped between block & firewall. This will be unfiltered oil though, needless small particles of bearing debree or gasket material etc, will not harm the turbine cartridge anyhow but an inline filter is possible w/ this aproach. Like the other's had posted, a sandich plate is the easiest, or a tee fitting mounted off the block (at existing pressure switch) to utilize the oil pressure dumby light or an aftermarket oil pressure gauge, highly recommended w/ any Force Induction car.

I have a BLITZ sandwich plate which installs right behind the oil filter. it works great and has 2 ports.
