I've searched and searched and really can't find any info on if i can feed my turbo with my forward facing oil filter housing. Recently the turbo that was on there was fed with the head oil feed and that actually blew out the seals on. So i recently purchased a FP Green turbo and can't figure out where to run the oil feed off of the housing. Please help! thanks a lot!
 
so do i use what i circled in red? Currently i have a oil pressure gauge connected to what i circled in blue. Thanks for your help

Unless you're using an inline filter for the turbo feed, use the port circled in blue. The red is for a gauge or sensor only as it is unfiltered oil.
 
Ok i have a question regarding this housing, sorry to thread jack but seems like a logical pace to ask this question. I have a Forward facing housing and i know that the lower port is post filter. So, if reading pressure from the lower port should oil pressure be 12psi (at idle and warmed up) and around 75ish (at WOT), or are these round about numbers for pre filter readings?
