uf da! oy vay! hummm, lets see: you wanna trust a shaft thats rides in 2 metal (most likely) bearings, spins in the 10's of thousands of RPMS, if not hundredrs, to a low pressure oil source that dribbles it in the shaft?????? at least you wont have to worry about coking!
thats like drag racing with 3 finger tight lug nuts on each tire...

Well, it was fine for a while....not the best place to put it....i get 15 psi from that point....i would like to stick with the 50 psi on the bottom end for now on...hahahah --------------------------------------- "Oh yea, well...My manifold does cool twisty things"

How much pressure do you get out of it at that point?" Call up HRC and get one of their oil feed lines and block tee, they're good quality.
my thoughts exactly

Yea that right, that explains why 4g motors have failing turbos all the time.
You dont use an oil drain for your source.
Most all turbo's are balenced to 90,000 rpms.....not quite hundreds.
