Is this oil feed set-up okay?
I have everything in the picture marked, not the best job in the world at marking it all in Paint, but there it is. The feed line to turbo is 30" long, the line to the block is 12" long and it is a brass block with 4 ports, one to the block, one for OEM sending unit, one for the aftermarket gauge sending unit, and one for feed line to turbo. All lines are -3an. I will run a restrictor at the turbo but that is not the point of this thread. I am curious if the 12" long from block to brass piece is too long? I will securely mount it to the fire wall or where ever I see fit. Any opinions?\\

that looks good, remote mounting the senders insures the fitting wont snap off the block, however why keep the stock sender? it doesn't do anything, doesn't supply the ecu with pressure readings, etc.... its only purpose is to cut on the idiot light when pressure drops to zero... ditch it
That was my curiosity, but I was not 100% sure if it would cause any trouble my ditching it. I guess it makes sense to just block that port off since I can just monitor pressure with the ProSport gauge I have.

with small line like that, you won't lose any pressure
people run ls/vtec oil lines, turbo feed, remote filter, and an oil cooler without pressure drop issues
