you shouldnt have any problems running the oil sandwich adapter, just make sure you tighten everything up to prevent leaks...

Also, when running one of these sandwich adapters, it's allowing unfiltered oil to pass through the turbo, and drain back into the pan. This is the only reason I decided against one. BTW, to avoid breaking block adapters, run a ss braided line off the back of the block, to a distribution block (brass tee's). This puts less weight on the block fitting. I run a 1/8"bspt male>1/8" npt male nipple off the stock oil pressure sensor to a ss braided hose. That goes to a distribution block, and I've had no trouble with breaking things.

Sorry, sir. The only one I know of that is designed to work in that manner is the golden eagle. Make no mistake, the cheap ebay ones DO NOT send filtered oil to the turbo.

I ended up getting some glowshift brand oil adapter found here. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/OIL-F...01107368QQrdZ1

I never thought of what you said till now. But ---- my chang meow turbo deserves nothing but the worst. At least I will be using a oil restrictor. If I pamper this turbo too much its bound to fail.

I don't think the ones from the block fitting is filtered either. But we seem to run fine with it.

The oil pressure sensor's stock location is post-filter in the oiling system. That's just before the oil gets up into the cyl head.
