Where does the oil line from the turbo connect to?

Turbo -> Oil Line -> (What is this)?

Thanks

Oil Pan.

You need a special bulkhead fitting after drilling a hole in your oil pan to make the proper connection here.

There's also the oil sender line (braided stainless steel) that feeds pressurized oil to the turbo. It connects to a brass T behind the block. You have to remove your oil pressure sensor and install a T to connect the line.

The oil return line that goes back into the oilpan is colored, usually blue if that helps.

Can I use the oil pan from the Eagle Talon TSi or Eclipse GST or GSX instead of drilling a new whole in my current one?
Thanks

No. The oil pan is completely different. Your only choice is to drill.

Nope, different engine. Need one from RS/GS, Talon ESi, or Avenger. Can't be from a 2.4 spyder either.
