Tapping my oil feed
 

So i ve been looking at my engine for quite some time now with the turbo sitting there. I ve been thinking about hooking up my oil feed line to my pressure switch right below the oil filter. After looking at every kit on the market it seems like they are all feeding from a different location except for Treadstone. So, should i just go off from the switch or from somewhere else?

we run ours off the oil pressure switch hole. Its a 28bksp thread so it will require a 28bksp male to 1/8 npt female with a t fitting so you can still retain the stock oil pressure sending unit. If you are running a external oil pressure gauge then I recommend running a single -3 line off that hole to a distribution block that can be mounted remotely since 2 tees inline hanging from the port would crack off eventually from vibration fatigue. If you dont already have these we have them in either configuration.

The only other way to run the line is if you are running a oil cooler kit as the sandwich adapters usually come with 1 or 2 1/8 npt ports.

Hope this answers your questions.

Where did you see the treadstone kit ? It not on the site is it?..

Thanks a lot for the info! I just went and got my T fitting and adaptors but it looks like the 1/8npt and 1/8bspt and just about the same i cant even see a difference between them... I just need to order my AN fittings, hose fittings and braided hose from jegs but before i do so, i want to be sure to figure out my coolant hoses as well.

Remove the outlet (flow) coolant hose from the throttle body, insert -6 barb to an, run to turbo, then from turbo back to that port in the same manner.

We sell kits just let me know your hose lengths needed and what turbo you have, lines can be stainless or black braid race hose, fittings in red/blue or black.

Thread count is only 1 tooth off per inch. What is worse is they will start to thread even if its the wrong fitting.

i was thinking of getting my water feeds from the bottom, the small hose right over the thermostat, i did think about the one unnder the throttle body at first, i have to look at it again and find the best solution for my turbo placement...

We just got done running all our waterlines and oil lines, give us a call up to help you out with the fittings.
