look at my gallery and you will see i used an adapter from summit for the oil feed and you need to tap the oil pan for the dump tube.
Is it the sandwich adapter?

Thnx

i have no idea what your talking about here. are you saying get the feed from an oil cooler and dump it back to the other side of the oil cooler? here, what kind of turbo do you have? i have a T3 and i ordered a oil line kit off ebay for $70 and it has everything i need with good quality and it fit good too. i got it just to save the headaches of finding the right fittings and what not. and yes, you have to drill the oil pan.

Hey rustie, are you going turbo???

Heck yes!!... haha, yea ive got half the stuff i need. All brand new parts. Heres what i have:
T3 turbo (.48 a/r compressor, .50 a/r turbine)
Large FMIC and couplers/clams (Intercooler core 21x9x3)
38mm External Wastegate
Charge Pipes (2.5", my friend is gonna help me weld and fabricate)
Log style turbo manifold
Gauges (boost, a:f, oil pressure)

So all i need is:
Oil lines
Greddy type RS bov/ flange
FMU 12:1
Missing Link
190lph fuel pump
All parts total at 1600, everything new.. including shipping!

so yea, half way there. I was really hoping to see you at the meet on the 12th last month. Im gonna need some tech help. The forums help a little, but i wish i could have someone actually help me out with it in person. I have a couple friends that have turboed their non turbo car, but not all of it is exactly the same. If you could help me out since your not too far away, thad be great.

But yeah, i kno that you can route it somewhere else w/o having to buy the sandwich adaptor, but where is the safest place? Ne help would be nice. Trying to save a little more on money! :thumb:
 
Hey is it smart 2 get the missing link when putting the turbo in a idont have a maf sensor so i should b fine right?
Thnx

ok i was wrong about the t3 oil line kit i ordered. it didnt come with everything i need. it came with a 1/8 tee. well the stock oil pressure sending unit is 3/8. so you have to go to home depot and buy a 3/8 female tee, 3/8 hex nipple, and a 3/8 to 1/8 reducer. cost $6
