Default oil feed line?

Where are people taping in for their oil feed line and are you using a inline restrictor to keep oil pressure down.

My kit came with a plate the bolts to the side of where the oil filter is on the engine... the plate was pre threaded for a fitting to connect the line to.

If you look above the oil filter, theres a oil port boss. its got 2 bolts holding it on.
Take that off and drill/tap it for 1/8" NPT and put a fitting in there to adapt it to -4AN. Vola theres your oil feed line.

No restrictor here.

Ask the turbo manufacturer about a restrictor. I was told to use a .0625 one, my oil pressure is at 80 psi above 4000 rpm.

Mine is a little different since it is in a swap vehicle. I used the oil pressure gage port on top rear of the engine. I had already tapped the one above the oil filter for my gage. 4an no restrictor either.
