Oil supply for turbos

I was wondering if I could use the 2 test ports near the oil filter on the engine to supply my turbos with oil? Engine is a 5.7 engine

That is where most people tap into for oil supply on Gm trucks.

Make sure you use oil restrictors.

When the shop installed the turbo on the Hemi they used a "T" where the oil pressure sensor is at the front of the motor to supply oil to the turbo.

Right the oil pressure sensor is right there up front, if you look back on the left there are 2 test ports rather than using a T correct?
