SI I can't pull from there at all for the turbo oil feed? Which of those plugs should I use as an alternative to the head plug?

yeah its the correct tap, thats how mine is..

isnt it better if you can get the oil feed above the turbo?

If you ever put a aftermarket oil pressure gauge you can put the from the turbo to the one on the side and run your gauge hose to where you got your oil feed line now. hope this helps

the oil feed off of the top of the head is unfiltered oil...that is why many people who run expensive aftermarket turbos run it off the oil filter housing because it is filtered oil and it wont run dirty, unfiltered oil through the turbo. if you do this route, you might have to restrict the oil pressure going into the turbo because you could actually overpressure the cartridge with oil and it will start to leak and burn in the exhaust or go into the compressor housing and make a huge mess....believe me been there done that on a homemade dune buggy.
