Good job man!

Hey, can you give us a heads up on the what makes up your oil pressure feed setup?

In particular, I'm curious about the T size and accompanying fittings that mates the sending unit T and the oil pressure sender?

Thanks! And nice job, again. :thumbsup

Looks real good Tim. :thumbsup

I was planning on running a hard oil line as well. I don't know if this is an issue but I'm probably going to shield the line from where it gets close to the manifold all the way to the center section to make sure the oil doesn't get preheated in the line.

And yeah, any specs on those T fittings would save me some time as well. Thanks.

the oil feed hole size is just normal 1/2" pipe thread i believe. Very nice work!

from stock oil pressure sending unit hole:
3/8 NPT "T" with one male NPT end into block. the up port has a 3/8 NPT to 1/4 NPT reducer with a 1/4 NPT to 1/4 inverted flair for oil feed hard line (standard 1/4 in. brake line). the out port has a 3/8 NPT to 3/8 NPT union going into a 3/8 all female "T". stock pressure sending unit in one port, 3/8NPT to 1/4 NPT reducer in the other end. Autometer electronic oil pressure sending unit in the reducer.

hey tim! nice setup. one question, if I want to do that to my wastegate do I need to drill new holes on the t25 to relocate the wastegate?

Very Nice! The only part that worries me is the downpipe laying real close to the gray O2 sensor connection below (see picture below). I know the HRC pipe is close (probably have about 1.5" between the HRC pipe and the sensor connection) but in your picture below it seems as if the sensor connection is almost laying right next to the pipe. I am sure this isn't a big deal as you probably can move the connection out of harms way. Either way, I just wanted to bring it to your attention before you melt some wires. Other than that, congrats, as you will love the turbo.
