some trucks have a adapter that was orignally from a vette. this is what you tap. using a 1/8 npt. the adapter is cheap if you had to buy it new

My truck has an external oil cooler stock... Would it have the adapter Plate? If not I would rather purchase an adapter plate pre made/ tapped that all I would have to do is screw it on, the filter on it and then an 1/8 NPT to -4 adapter fitting to the port..

Oil cooler trucks don't use it. You'll have to replace cooler with this adapter

Might want to take a look at a thread in the project section called "twin turbo 434LSX" or something to that effect. The kit used is made by Rick, might give you some ideas on how to route the turbos and oil lines.

If you think the turbos are going to be fighting each other by having the filters a few inches closer, then you're dead wrong. That would assume you're saying the turbos will flow so much air that the space in between them will experience a vacuum relative to atmospheric pressure.....not gonna happen. Who sold you that bullshit information?

You need to worry about flow characteristics inside your charge piping, not out... Put the filters however you want.

so what your saying is the probability of an artificial BlackHole being created under the hood during full boost is not a likely possibility?

Ok so I shouldn't have to tap anything... It should already have a tapped port that was connected to the oil cooler correct. Like a sandwich adapter...

Can anyone with a factory oil cooler take a pic of where the oil
cooler is tapped in to?

Thanks
