I was thinking about going that way, but I was told that it would supply too much oil to the turbo and cause premature failure. Also, it would slow down the oil supply to the motor since it is in the line of the motor supply. The oil going into the turbo will be restricted and not flow as much as needed. This is just what I have heard. I wanted to do this setup, but ended up tapping off the oil pressure sensor and welding the oil pan for a return. I've got a whole kit for sale if your interested........

Your going to get the same amount of pressure at the oil pressure sender or the Sandwith adapter, it will be the same. Same feed channel in the block.

I was lied to. Those bastards. I guess you can't trust the guy you are buying parts from to tell you the truth when it depends on the sale of his item.

Actually he is a reputable seller on Ebay. "Wilhelmcabage"
or something like that. He has been selling turbos and turbo accessories for a while now. I guess you can't trust anybody.
