*PICS* of oil feed/return, they all gone from FAQ
 
Ok, i'm starting to get the hang of this oil line stuff... now i need some pics to visualize the setup.

I still don't understand or know if I need any swivel joints or 45 degree or 90 degree for the feed/return?

Why do you need those for? I still can't visualize, if someone can post some pics of oil return and oil feed that would be good!

ALSO, people said PSI was too high so they added a oil line restrictor. But how can you hook up your oil guage AFTER the restrictor? Use another TEE??? What is the maximum PSI the turbo should get before blowing seals?

Thanks... so you TEE right off the block? I thought we weren't suppose to do that due to vibrations so u need a tee on the firewall or on the block itself?

I have never heard of that. Mine t's right off the block from the oil pressure sensor.

well if you put an 4an line you dont have to worry about the oil pressure being to high.

Ok -4an line.. if this is true then why don't most peole do this? how come i still hear people with -4an smoking?? and -4an is pretty cheap.. like $5.00 a feet... why not? or go -3an but will that starve the turbo maybe?

I had the problem of the t fittin on the block crack on me. I now have the heavy ass oil press guage t-d from a fittin that is on the fire wall.

when it cracks it spits oil all over the block and you start to create a smoke screen behind you, very embarassing!

After it happened I read this...
