Default oil feed - block tapping tee?

I understand that many people get the oil for the turbo from the back of the block. I assume this happens by sticking in a tee where the oil pressure sensor was and attaching the sensor on one side and an SS line on the other. Where is a good place to get these tees from? I have a b18c.

also on the return, where should i get my fitting for the oil pan?

help greatly appreciated, thanks!

That is the EXACT same fitting. The two sites are sister sites, they share a lot of the products like that.

I would recommend using an oil filter sandwich plate like one from GE or some other company. I was very careful when installing my tee and I *STILL* cracked the fitting in my block.

Hey PM Stan aka (Flamenco-T) in the Force Induction Sponsor section. He should help you out with mostly any fittings for oil for turbo, which he helped me out.

all these companies charge way to much for a ******* feed line, turbopiping.com charges like 47$ shipped for a line. I bought an Earls 4ft SS 3an feed line for an everyday price of 18.99$ at a (mainly) muscle car performance shop where i live. I was like, WTF are these people charging like triple that for??? i already had the feed line but i could have made the return for another 25$. or if you go the simple rubber hose return route, like 5$. Do yourself a favor, cringe and go to a muscle car shop and buy your lines, I BET YOU WILL COME OUT WAY CHEAPER THAN 75$!!!!

It's always funny when I go into Barnett and ask for import parts...they're all like '4-cylinder what?'

I hate Barnett, I went there to get NGK plugs, the guy said he wouldn't sell them to me because they suck
