Default Turbo oil presure help B18C1

I finally fired up my ek with a new turbo kit I decided to eliminate the long oil presure line from behind the block and use the port in front of the head next to the vtec solenoid beacuse its only 12" long my question is, is that presure port enough for the turbo beacuse their is oil coming out but not much but it is consistant? Please help

Is it going to hurt the turbo or is it enough oil the turbo is PT67R and the line is a
-4 and thier is a restrictor in the turbo for the oil pressure

if oil pressure doesnt kick in till vtec does....then no! you want your turbo to be hydrated and not running dry.....

i would just use what everybody else does since they dont have any problems with that setup!
