oil line presure ???
I got a couple questions about where every one with a turbo set up is getting oil pressure for there turbo and how they are returning it since im doing a custom set up. the set up im going with is some what the same as the high mount trick kit but im using a side mount IC and plumbing my own intake. I'll probably be back asking a few more questions trough out the build so any info, tips, tricks or hints is greatly appreciated and thanks in advance for your help.

What year, and is it a truck? Depending on year, and engine size you may or may not have a engine oil cooler. If you dont, it is a simpile mater of drilling and tapping the oil cooler cap above the filter.

Mine didnt have a oil cooler
oil pressure from above the filter, just drill it and tap, notice the fitting already screwed in.
the return from the pass fenderwell.

ugh no. For the pressure side, first pic, that little piece comes off, see the two bolt holes.
On the other side, pass fenderwell, just get a drill, I raised the front of the truck high, so it will push shaving out and not let them get into the oil pan. I left the pan on my truck tho.
