I need some help in figuring out a solution for my current problem regarding my oil feed line. I am currently installing my t3 sc6152 and the feed line that was sold to me for this turbo is getting oil from the oil filter housing. I have everything hooked up except the oil feed fitting that bolts on to the oil filter housing as outlined here.

The problem I have is getting the cap out of the fitting on the oil filter housing. You must take the cap off and then put the new fitting for the new feed line. The damn thing will not come out. I tried yesterday and soaked in liquid wrench over night and then tried again today, still nothing, the more I try the more movement the allen key has. Which will eventually lead to the stripping of the cap.
Now I also noticed that their is a fitting right under the one that I should be taking off. And then there is another fitting on the bottom of the oil filter housing as well. My question is do any of the other 2 fittings have the same oil pressure as the just filtered fitting that I am supposed to be using? I would not mind using the other fittings on the oil filter housing to get the job done, I just want to make sure that they will carry the same amount of oil pressure as the one that does not come out. I understand that they might not be filtered oil, but the top of the head is not filtered either and that works fine for many people.
Thanks for the help, and sorry for the essay
