Turbo Oil Feed And Return Lines Question

I Just Got My Turbo Kit And I Also Ordered The Greddy Oil Pan. My Question Is Where Do You Route The Oil Feed And Return Lines Do They Both Tap Into The Greddy Pan Or What? If Not Where Do They Tap Into?

you unscrew the oil pressure switch/sending unit, then screw the "t" in there. the return line has that fitting that replaces the factory drain bolt on the oil pan.

Yeah the greddy pan has two threaded holes side by side. Use the supplied fitting from the turbo kit and screw it into one of the holes. I forget which one but you'll immediately be able to tell because the way the turbo sits and the length of the return hose they give you.

vacuum, and there are 3 sources

1) Just behind the throttle body where the VFAD was connected.
2) and 3) Passenger side of the lower intake manifold are two nipples that, in stock condition, are capped with rubber caps.

I used the TB one for the BOV and the other two for boost gauge and interceptor-x. Though I am considering using the TB one for the interceptor as recommended by mazsport.

which one are you using for the actuator on the turbo. I am using one nipple on the lower manifold for my boost gauge, the other for the actuator on the turbo, and I use the one by the throttle body for the emanage ultimate w/a T fitting and the blow off valve

The hardest part of hooking up the turbo was getting the oil line feed in to me, because it was such in a cramp area.

Yep that was a pain.

It is highly suggested you tap a compression pipe with a 1/8" nipple for the wastegate actuator signal. I tapped the one bolted to the turbo but technically any of them would work. You just don't want to connect to anywhere after the throttle body. It will cause the turbo to overspeed. Read the greddy turbo kit definitive fixes thread.
