i'm looking at this page to help turbo a friend's EX civic
http://www.cse.uconn.edu/~yelevich/turbo/turbo.html

this portion shows where you get oil from to the turbo, but does not mention where to put this sensor:

"On the left side of the oil filter, you will see an oil sensor which has some sort of rubber boot on it. Disconnect the wire, or just cut it off if your lazy (You can solder it back or tape it back later). Then, using a 23 mm DEEP SOCKET, remove that oil sensor. You will see oil come out slightly. This is how your turbo will get its oil!!

Using the stainless steel oil line that you bought from Summit racing, connect it to the hole. The other end will later connect to the turbo unit."

It does not mention what to do with this sensor. Am I missing something? Does the oil line from Summit Racing have a T fitting to reattach the sensor? Sorry if this is noob stuff, but I don't like getting in the middle of something and going, "OOPS! I missed a step."

Thanks

look in the faq at the oil feed topics, there are lots of pictures that will explain this.

Save yourself the headache and get the adapter from tunertoyz. Then you just need the oil line with 1/8 NPT threaded male ends. The oil sender goes back into the back of the adapter. Simple and efficient.
