Whats up.
I am installing my own turbo and its my first time so i need help. I am almost done i just have to run oil lines. I know the on goes to the oil pan but I need help, I drained my oil removed my oil filter, but I can't find where to put a T fitting for the oil sending.

lol, just kidding.
First off it depends on which engine you have, if you have a single cam it is right over top of the oil filter. If you look above the filter you will see where there is the main wire harness running under the intake, there is one wire that comes off of that and runs to this big black piece right above where the filter is. That is your factor oil pressure sensor so you have to pull that black piece and the connector inside off of the sensor then you can unscrew the sensor and thread in the "T" fitting. I would suggest that you use teflon sealing tape so that it makes a seal, I found that those dont like to seal very well without it. When you put it back together put the oil pressure sensor at the end so it is pointed at the engine like it was before, and put the oil feed line on the side part of the fitting. Also make sure the line isnt turned down too much, if it is the line will hit the filter and make it very hard to get the fitler back off. If you have the dual cam the process is the same but the pressure sensor is beside the filter instead of over top of it. When you are done with that dont just take off down the road, let the car come up to temperature and put something under it so you can see if it leaks any, once its up to temp and you have no leaks then you can go down the road but not far, come right back and park the car back on top of what ever you were using to make sure it isnt leaking and let the car cool, once it has cooled make sure it still hasnt leaked then you should be fine, just keep an eye on everything under the car and the oil level and you should be fine.
