USING OIL COOLER SANDWICH AS OIL FEED?
is it possible to use this as the oil feed? i know it has 2 openings, one going to oil cooler and other being the return from the cooler... but can i jus cap off one of them and use this as the oil feed for my turbo setup? enough pressure to push oil to the turbo? let me kno if this would work please! thx

the golden eagle one will work because it's used as more as a "distribution block" for oil, I don't think the sandwich adapter for an oil cooler idea will work unless you just loop the line back around and throw a T in there going to the turbo, because when it's intended to be used for an oil cooler all the oil will go out one end and will be expected to get returned on the other opening, if nothing goes back into the other opening then nothing goes to your engine and you have a nice lubed up turbo attached to a fucked engine.

but that is why i said plug one end and use the second one, the oil would be returning its self through the oil return from the turbo going back down to the oil pan therfore i would have a nice lubbed turbo and well oiled engine correct? if im wrong someone tell me so i dont blow my engine with a bad idea...

the sandwich adapter will not work
as you can see by this diagram drawn by a real life police sketch artist the engine will receive no oil because with the sandwich deal (the one intened for the oil cooler, not the golden eagle and similar one) the oil will just go from pump to turbo and back to pan to have the process repeated, the engine will have no oil pumped to it and will run on hopes and dreams alone. using some type of rig off the pressure sensor hole or the golden eagle type sandwich is the only way to do it unless you only want to have your car running for as long as the stagnant oil will work for it.

kyle, the oil coming out of the adapter is not fed from the oil going back to it, the "in" hole in your diagram is simply a place for the oil to return to from the oil cooler. if you plugged that hole and ran the feed line from the other the oil would be coming from the adapter, to the turbo back into the oilpan and so on and so forth. if there were only a in and an out, why need to exist?
