12A turbo oil lines??

just wondering where you guys think would be the best spot to tap into the oil system for my turbo setup. i'm thinking somwhere just after the oil cooler...this is for the top side of the turbo- which needs good pressure. the exit line will be going into the oil pan, above ther oil level.
thanks for any help,

chuck

You Need This:



Oil Pressure and Temperture Adapter

To have good pressure from an N/A engine for a Turbo conversion. 13BT already have this taken care of.

For the Low pressure side, tap into the front cover the way Mazda does it. Don't tap into the Oil Pan, it's not as effective.
