I put an RB adapter between the filter and its base.

It has four holes, with plugs, for oil temp, pressure and turbo feed, and one left plugged.

Fits the stock length (Greddy) oil line and can be rotated to face the best angle.

I wouldnt have thought there was enough pressure there to feed the turbo. Good to know. I was needing that info for my install in a couple weeks. Doing some long hard fact finding before I attempt this!

^Really? Oil pressure is the same almost everywhere in the motor. Remember, the oil it forced up and through a filter, so the pressure needs to be high at the filter.

The other location is the oil pressure switch on the drivers side of the block near the heater hose. It's kinda a PITA to get to, it's a lot easier to get your feed of the oil filter.

I guess I was thinking of something different. I just wasnt sure if it was "enough" pressure to run the turbo. But if I can get away with using that RB adapter for the pressure gauge and the feed line, that would be awesome!!! 2 birds, one stone.

So I just ordered the RB oil filter adapter thinking of getting the oil fee by doing this along with my oil pressure and oil temp gauges and I found that the RB adapter only has 2 outputs for sensors. I thought some people claimed it had 3-4.

Ya the RB has only two. You will need a brass 3-port tee fitting with in 1/8" NTP, two female, one male.
