Default Turbo oil feed source

Hi,
My turbo oil feed line is too short to be linked on the "T" of the oil pressure sensor or on the sandwich plate.
I would want to know if it is OK to link with the location as on the photo?
(I have a .035" oil restrictor on my turbo)

thanks..

Because its too short lol.

Just get a longer line and run it the way everyone else does. Why risk your motor and turbo just to avoid buying a new line?

the spot where the oil pressure sensor is on the back of the block is a major oil feed to the whole engine. i have always used that as my source.
