You run a line from the back of the block to a distribution T fitting which is attached to the firewall...and then run it to your turbo from there. You can use the other holes in the T to supply oil to a 2nd pressure guage and/or the stock pressure guage.

How do you run the oil line if your turbo sits very low, almost the same level as the oil pan? Just like how Beau has his turbo setup...will a long oil return hose *** the oil if the turbo is the same height or lower than the oil pan?

Yes, isnt the oil pan full to the top or close to it with oil?
