1G Oil Filter Housing Ports for Turbo oil feed

[GSLENK]

Attached is a pic for the oil filter housing. What ports are allowed to be used for oil feed? I am currently using port #2 in the pic, but would like to move it to port #4 the down facing one next to the oil pressure sender.

It would create a lot of much desired clearance in that area.

Ignore the captions, I stole this photo online.

#2 is about it.

#1, #3, #4, and #5 are all pretty much on the same gallery and pre-filter. If you want to run some type of inline filter, then I suppose you can choose whichever.

I am running the fp inline filter restrictor

So long as you are diligent with checking and cleaning the filter, it shouldn't matter which port you use. I would personally stay away from #1 and #5.

My oil feed is on number 2 port ....

The fittings that fp gives absolutely suck for clearance. Especially with using their filter... I'll try to stay on #2 or go to #4.

And just for reference, #5 is the oem oil pressure gauge and #1 is the low pressure switch/warning/idiot light?

Yes.
