The supply for your oil light, comes off the back of the block, you can use that for your oil feed, and then just tap your pan for the oil return.

I think you'll be fine if you can just get a fitting for it. Honestly I haven't done it yet, so you might want to check into it.

If you want your oil light to be operational, you need to tee it. Otherwise just get a 3/8" NPT to -4AN fitting and run a braided steel line up to the turbo.

If he does it this way than he's going to need some time of restrictor at the turbo. I did it this way and I was burning oil like crazy. Best thing is to just get a solid through 1/4" NPT and get a 1/16 hole drilled through it, which equals to a 0.0625. Once I did this I wasn't leaking oil from the return and burning it.

P.S estein, the cars going back to stock until I get all the fuel management settled

Just so you know I was listening to what you had to say

Yes, depending on the turbo, you may need a restrictor inline. Mitsu units typically don't care but Garretts typically do.

Thanks. I'd hate for you to blow it up over something dumb.
