Let me know what you guys think about this set up i'm thinking about for mine.
My oil cooler line is leaking a little bit at the crimp connection so I bought a new assembly. The one I have does have the plug in the side, but I don't want to run it all the way down there. Also I know the cooler lines are notorious for leaking at the crimps and I don't want to replace this stuff again so. I bought 4x -8an to 1/2" hard line adapters, and 4x -8an straight fittings along with 5' of -8an braided line. I also have a -8an female to male with 1/8"npt gauge port fitting that I was going to splice inline between the hard tube adapter and hose. Then I was going to route the braided feed line over across the motor behind the alt, and under the tb to the turbo. It sounds like more work than it is, but it is more expensive unless you factor in the cost of replacing the cooler lines every few years. With this setup you won't have to at all. with fittings and hose I have about $100 into it. That isn't including the replacement cooler lines though.

I will get pics up when I get all my stuff. I changed my mind on the braided line as I don't want crud getting caked in the line and look like crap in a few months. So now I am gonna take a trip to Summit to get the rest of the parts to do it all. Along with some misc fuel fittings etc. Hopefully I get to go this week.

I think my plan is to unbolt the small plug that was talked about eariler, and drill and tap it for just a small 90 to feed the turbo. Im worried about having enough room to even put that small 1/8 inch 90 there as it is. Not much to work with in that area...
