Default Oil line question

Ok, I already put teh flame suit on. But I have a 2.8 V6 Passat im looking to custom turbo. My friend and I pretty much have the basic idea of whats going on, and should be able to do it, except one part.

I read the NOOBS READ THIS BASIC TURBO whatever thread. We came across the oil line part, which we know we need, but " you need an oil line kit that taps in to the back of your block to feed oil to the turbo and then drains back in to your oil pan ".

Our question is, does the oil line kit have directions for tapping into the back of the block? Or is that something we have to know how to do. Because we have no idea where to start with tapping into the back of my block.

Thx for the help.

you don't drill into the block, you go from the oil pressure sending unti, and " tapp " into it,

you may have to find some fittings at your local speed shop for that, to get the right threads and such,

the only thing you have to " tapp " into is the oil pan, mark up where your turbo is gonna sit, and make your return line, and drill a hole in the side of you oil pan ( with the oil pan off) and put you fitting on it, and seal it up

The fitting from --------------------------- is 1/8. Check the size of your sending unit, and if it matches, then you are in.

Not sure about the Passat, but one of my friends turbo'd an old super beetle (herby style) and the block fitting screwed right in. hahaha

if that doesnt work out, you could use the oil filter sandwich adapter to feed the turbo.
