You can get an oil filter pedestal and route a line from there. Racingbeat makes a good one

You can get a oil sandwitch and use that. Tap the OEM ped or T off the oil pressure sending unit and use that or if you have your motor apart tap the front iron. OR somone can trade me straight up oil filter peds b/c i have a tapped one with the line and hookup for the stock turbo. I just want a ped not tapped

Drill and tap the spot in the front iron. That is what I did. Works well.

Banzai's is $25 I believe. But try advance auto if they really sell a sandwich adapter with a hole already drilled and tapped. The pedestal is the easiest way though.

you need to make sure that the threads that screw onto the oil filter threads are the correct measurements as well.
