it goes from the oil sending unit on the back of the block to the top of the center cartridge of the turbo. Its silver...you can't miss it.

Oil feed line "goes to" the turbo oil inlet. It comes from the stock oil sensor position.

mine tends to be a bitch and leak a little where the adapter is on the block... What size is it, anyone know offhand? and where I can order different "T"'s? Mine is pretty ugly and when its tight the T is down in a wierd position, makes to oil flow not so smooth as it could to say the least.

"It comes from the stock oil sensor position"
It's on the back of the block facing the firewall closer to the driver's side. There should be a T already screwed in there, with the stock oil sensor on the other end of it.

yeah i had as much fun trying to find that oil sensor scoket when i installed my kit as everyone is having trying to explain its location to you now. you MUST have the car raised and be up under it looking up at the back of the block with a light to see it.

Mine was leaking but I tightened it up when I put on a new oil sending unit. Now its fine as far as I can tell.

I ended up taking mine off, degreasing all the fittings and the block, and reinstalled it with teflon paste, when i get my manifold back from ARD we'll see if its still leaking, its like a mole on someones face, out of place and ugly, hehe.

Put teflon on the threading and it will never leak. event he factory sending unit has some sort of hard anti-leak paste on it.
