Default OK i hooked up my oil line but not sure if right....

OK so i crawled underneath and pulled what i though was the pressue sensor.

Is it the one with the one terminal on it that is to the passengers side above the oil filter?

I put my fitting in and the line and it turned out like perfect man 2" es shorter and it woulda been a waste fo 60 dollar ouil line.

No the fitting on the inlet side of my turbop didnt quite fit well so i added this cold weld stuff that i used for oil pan. Is this gonna work. im asuming it will cause most of the flow will go through the turbo and it shouldnt have back pressure.

Last question.. What oil should I run in my motor now that im turboed. And how do i turn boost down beloew stock wastegate as no fuel managment will be installed till next week and i dont wanna blow my motor....

THX guys

Use 5-30w/10-30w or straight 30w

"added this cold weld stuff that i used for oil pan. Is this gonna work"

I have no idea, I would have to see it.. Only way to find out is start it up and hope it doesnt leak.

"how do i turn boost down beloew stock wastegate "

Their is no real easy/quick way to do this, some wastegates have threaded rods that will allow you to turn down the boost. I would first boost and see what it opens at, or just wait until you get engine management. If not you will need to modify the wastegate rod.

Do whatever you want.. no engine management at 7psi? will it last? who knows..

Be smart, otherwise you will break your ring lands very quickly
