From the Oil Pressure Sending Unit which is right above the oil filter. It has to be tee-d off to run a line from it.

Buy the correct oil line kit for your turbo and be done with it.

Re: oil feed line

the block's thread is a 1/8 BSP (Brtish standard pipe). Most common US pipe fittings in that size are 1/8 NPT which can be screwed into 1/8BSP but it's not really a good idea if you can help it. 1/8BSP is 1/8-28 TPI (threads per inch) and NPT is 1/8 -27 TPI IIRC.

It does! I used that fitting and an 1/8 NPT 1/4" hose barb to go up to a couple T's on the firewall which I connected the sensor and the guage to.

For $7 what more do you want? wal-mart FTW. lol
