help with oil feed line

[djalogik]

so i have blown my pte 50 trim turbo due to no oil. I bought 6 bolt and swapped it in , the only catch is that it came with non turbo oil filter housing; i thought i could still use it but apparently not. I hooked up the feed line to where the red circle is but the pressure apparently wasn't high enough because oil does come out of there. So now that i have to buy a new turbo i was wondering if you guys know if the other place would would work better( with the red arrow). If not then my question is would there be enough oil pressure to support a 50 trim or 20g if i hooked it up through the head instead. oh and by the way I im still trying to make that oil filter housing work for now.

I dont know what to tell you I dont know but I have some spare turbo 6 bolt oil filter housings if your interested.

The angled fitting (with the red arrow pointing towards it) looks identical to the factory oil feed location on a 7 bolt. Run a line to this first. Don't bolt it into the turbo just yet, stick the open end into a container. Disconnect your ecu fuse, and crank the engine. This will prime the line to confirm that it is a sufficient pressure source.

The pressure should be enough to supply any turbo if its the same as a 7 bolt. If your running a ball bearing turbo, I would suggest using the oil feed source from the side of the cylinder head (factory 6 bolt oil source).

So it turns out that when i took the feed line completely out and try to blow through it i can't... so now i know for sure that the turbo needed oil but i still don't know if I should continue to use that same location.

I've been feeding a 57 trim from the head for around 8 years with no issues at all, I used part of a stock feed line (banjo bolt at the head) and then used a compression coupler to adapt it over to an -3 AN feed inlet. Looks good, it's imple and you can see the entire route by just opening the hood making it easy to work on if you have to.

is that a journal bearing turbo you are talking about
