Wheres a good place to put the oil feedline for turbo on a B18B1? I m talking about where can I run the line from on the engine? not the turbo, I know where that already goes.

You should put it in the turbo.

Not sure what other options there are.

if you're talking about running the line through the engine compartments... I'd most likely run it on the passenger side as there are no moving belts or wheels... Just make sure its lying directly on top of the turbo manifold...

I been told that I should put where my oil pressure sensor is. right nex to the oil fillter. Does that mean i have to have the feed line come from the back over the top of the engine, to the turbo. or can i just have the line go from the side or bottom. which is it? Do i have to have the line come down onto the turbo for gravity to bring oil through.

Also how do i know if my turbo is getting enough oil flow.

Your right, just t'd it off the oil pressure switch. We did my friends b18a turbo hatch, and we just brought it upwards and went on top of the valve cover. Just ran it along the groove on the ls valve cover next to the camgear and straight to the turbo. Seems to work for him. Besides it pressurized so I'm sure it doesnt matter how you really run it.

And as for the oil return. You just have to make sure it flows downward so it reaches the oilpan with any problem. And yes it goes with gravity. Just make sure it has some sort of descending slope.

And for the turbo getting enough oil pressure or flow would be to use some sort of gauge in between the lines or something.
