The turbo gets cleaner oil from the filter housing as opposed to the head.

has it when passed the cooler yet on the rre install?

I have no idea what that means.

sorry i mean where every one taps in to the filter housing, has the oil through the cooler or is it hot oil.

This diagram says its before the cooler, but still, you should prefer to have cleaner oil.

ok i got yeah, i wonder if it be ok if you switch the oil sending unit with the rre install it to have cooler oil. only thing is you'd need to use fitting on the sending unit because the unit is bspt threds and the hole is npt

If you tapped into there, it would still be unfiltered oil. The only place you can tap and have fresh filtered oil is the specified spot.

Your profile indicates that you're running a GT3582R, you should be feeding from the head with an inline oil filter. BB turbos are not suppose to see more than 40ish psi of oil pressure and feeding from the filter housing, especially with BS removed which I'm assuming is the case with all the internal work you've done, will kill the turbo really fast, unless you have the correct restrictor on the feed line. Hope my post is not too late.
