I would not tap it into the head area, the oil pressure is not constant and and may increase a chance of oil starvation to the turbo.

All my customer's kit use the block by the oil pump as the source, therefore there will be a constant flows and pressure as well..

Ok i just got off the phone with Tony at importpalace and i was misinformed the supply does come off the head but it come's directly from underneath the distributer he say's you remove one of the factory plugs and get the oil from there. I am open to suggestions because if you guys feel this is not safe then i will get something else. Thanks for some input Flamenco-T

Again, the head does not always have a constant oil pressure, the block does that's why the oil pressure sener are there.

There was a few discussions about this and many had concluded it.
