I have my old feed lines if you need them. It has the tee for the block/ oil pressure sensor, and like 3-4 feet of 3an ss line.

i believe its: I have just an ebay oil feed kit.
1 1/8" BSPT to 1/8" NPT Adapter
This fitting goes into the port in the back of the block

4 1/8" NPT to -3AN Adapters
One of these will go in the BSPT to NPT adapter, two will go in the 'T' fitting, the other will go in the oil port on the turbo. The beveled edge side of the fitting is the AN side.

1 1/8" NPT Female T

Thanks man! I may take you up on your offer; please PM me a price/range. Most likely this will have to wait at least a few weeks, as I am almost broke and still have exhaust and tune to crank out!

By the way - got my exhaust fabricated today. 2.5" downpipe to 2.75" flexpipe to 3" straight pipe back to 3" Magnaflow muffler & tip. Here are some healthy pictures and videos of the work:

I got the box from the Acura stealership, It was like around $30 for box and cover. It's from a 01-03 CL/CL-S. My DIY on retrofitting it into our engine bay can be found here: http://www.6thgenaccord.com/forums/showthread.php?t=17772

I wanted a sleeper tip, besides I don't think huge tips look good on the sedans, only on the coupes. The tip is straight up 3" though, so it causes no restriction to the exhaust system.

Ok, quick question about oil levels as they pertain to sufficiency.

I have a slight oil drip, as mentioned between filter and adapter, not block. Therefore, I periodically add oil.

* Should I be checking the oil levels on a cold, or hot engine, or does it matter?

My oil level according to dipstick is either at second dot, or just above usually.

* How much oil does the turbo hold, and does this oil leak out when the car is off, or does it stay primed?

* To sufficiently feed the turbo, should I keep my oil level just above the second dot, or can I let it get as low as midway between first and second dots?

Even though these questions may seem simple, I would prefer a concrete answer as I do not want to damage my turbo at all, and keep it in its prime function.

Thank you!
