thats what I was thinking too, I know how simple these things are so I figure its worth $30 to try it. worse thing that happens is it doesn't work and we'll just tune it out.

Looks like things are coming together nicely. Can't wait to start doing all of this!

valves are adjusted and the engine is fully assembled. just need to tap the oil pan for the return line and get the right fitting for the feed, and some various nuts and bolts and its ready to go back into the car. Also still debating on whether or not I should put the build on hold for a few days to get my powder coating done or just say **** it and not powder coat anything for now and just do it late down the line.

Where would you guys suggest that I hook the feed line up to? I was thinking I would just T it in where the stock oil pressure sensor goes.

Also Where should I hook up to for my oil pressure gauge?

do the t hookup or buy a oil sandwich

Re: x5carl3tmurd3rx's Turbo build [updated 02-7-11]

can I run both the gauge and the feed line off the T somehow? I don;t really wanna run a sandwich cause of heard alot about those leaking.

I say put it on hold so you can powder coat everything so when it's done it's done and looks ballin at the same time!

but everything looks like it's coming together well! keep it up!

Ya I'm gonna get up early tomorrw to go get the oil fittings and bolts and other little odds and ends. I figure since I'll be in the area I'll stop by the powder coating place and get an estimate for price and how long till it'd be done.

anyone know where I can get a T fitting that fits into the block and has the right threads for the oil pressure sensor to thread into.
