I've been searching for this kinda on and off for a few weeks. I've never installed a turbo kit, I've researched a lot and the one little thing that I haven't figure out is where to tap the oil for the turbo? Can you use one of those plate adapters that fit between the oil filter and the oil filter mount on the engine?

turbo kit usually comes with a T and a braided stainless steel line.
then you either get the greddy oil pan for the return line, tap a new hole in your oem pan, or route the return line into your oil drain line.
the last option is annoying cause you have to disconnect the oil return anytime you change the oil. I like the greddy option best cause you can use the fumato valve with it.

Yes that works fine.

I started with a sandwich plate for my oil feed line but I changed it to a "T" that is mounted to the oil sending unit hole. It will work either way.

where does the T go though? The line that comes from the oil cooler?
