My oil feed comes off of a T block on the oil pressure sensor.

i dunno about the bbq paint, but the VHT manifold paint works really well. i did my wastegate housing and valve in that, and my manifold, and no signs of any issues after a good thrash with the valve in the wastegate the wrong way around. (to ensure there was no boost) a mate of mine has done his turbine in it, and i intend to do mine too. its good stuff.

Ceramic coat is the best. especially polished like a mirror, but for a cheaper coating to prevent rust, i like to use DEI paint. it makes your turbo a nice gloss black that doesn't scale off with heat. Looks very much like your holset turbine.
it's supposedly illegal here in Canada but who cares, I have some.

on the manifolds and turbines i treated with it, it did not fade away with heat like barbecue paint does.

Oil is from a sandwich plate up front, The short braided line you see attaches to some tranny cooler line coming from the front of the car. The thing at the end of the braided line is a check valve to prevent oil from draining into the turbo from the line while parked. The check valve requires .5 PSI to allow flow. It's not to prevent backflow. I used the stainless line at the turbo to protect it from any heat. Check out my "94 Q45 rear mount turbo" write up for detailed photos.
