Different oil feed line for turbo?
I have am using an electronic oil pressure gauge in my CRX and am wondering what other source can I use for the turbo?
I can't use the oil pressure sending unit line because the sender acts like a plug and the pressure will change if it is installed inline and not as a plug. Please correct me if I am wrong.
I have a B18B1 in the car and no it does not have Vtec. My friend tried running his oil line from his oil pump but kept blowing turbos because the pump was putting out too much pressure.
Any suggestions for an alternate source of oil? And what size line should I use going to the turbo?
Thanks.

Re:Different oil feed line for turbo?
If you tap directly into the oil pump you should try putting some type of restrictor on it to lower the pressure. You will need to add in another oil pressure sensor on this line as well to see how much pressure you have going to the turbo so you don't blow out the seals or starve it.
