Default oil feed and oil pressure

i was wondering,when im going to turbo my car people sed i can get the oil to supply my turbo from a blank spot right near the oil filter,well i was also told that my oil pressure auge would be using the same spot.could i just get like a 3 way splitter? or something along those lines to supply oil to my tubo and still give me accurate readings? thanks for the help...

I believe you can get an oil take off fitting.

TunerToys.com has them for like 20 bucks

ok checked out tuner toys and they only have a single and a double port.the only problem is.one end goes into the block,the other end is for the factory sensor,and the other leaves only the one plave for either a gauge or oil feed not 2.i was wondering,would it be possible or a good idea for the matter to buy this fitting and then buy another kind of splitter to come off the fitting?any suggestions would be great

They also have a firewall kit, in which you can tee off of that.

Ok, I'm prepared for the flaming, but I honestly think the ONLY way you should feed oil to the turbo is through a sandwich plate that goes between your block and your oil filter. This way you are feeding your turbo nice FILTERED oil, and you don't risk stripping/cracking the fitting on the back of your block. I read the stories, didn't think it could happen to me, then BAM! cracked mine. Now I run the GE adapter.

IMO a firewall kit is the way to go...



That way you can have it all right there on your firewall and if you have a problem it's easy to work with...

When I first installed my turbo I had a small leak in one of my fittings and it was super easy to fix because the oil feed was right there... Then again, I hate doing anything on the back of the block, it's such a pain to get to...

Anyways, there are other options but this is just the one that I prefer...

A sandwich kit would be my other favorite option, but then again, I hate having fittings on the back of the block...

its all about the vtec oil pressure sensor. Use a T fitting from there and you are good to go. Easy to work with and you get good oil pressure.
