i need help, i was looking all over the place and cant find oil feed line for big 16g turbo. i even posted on buy/sell forum and nothing, so here i am now. Does anyone know where to get one of those. It needs to be long enough so it can reach from oil filter on my gs to the front of engine, thank you.

go at the oil pressure switch, not the oil filter housing.

Why use the sandwich adapter? I don't really see any benefit from that. All you'll be doing is increasing the risk of oil filter puncture, especially if your suspension is altered.
I would just use the oil pressure sending unit location like most of us. Here is a diagram I made of the fittings used (including a sender for an electronic oil pressure gauge).
And here's the turbo-side of that same setup (16G)
most GOOD speed shops will have the line in stock or be able to order it for you. if you dont like your speed shop, or dont have one close buy, an industiral or aeromotive equipment / hydrolics shop will have it. advantage of them is they can build the lines for you in house and usually have an extensive inventory.
ss line and AN fittings are a unique group, you have to stay with the same manufacture for the fitting and the line as the specs are *slightly* different from one to another. ie russell fittings will leak when put on aeroquip ss line. this dossent apply to the NPT to AN adapters and reducers that will be used on your turbo fittings.
making lines isnt hard once you've worked through one or 2 just be warned that SS line can become addictive especially when you see how nice it can make things look
