ideas for oil feed NA-T help
ok guys, i need help on supplying oil to my turbo. i have already found how im going to be running coolant and the oil dump. its the feed that i need help on.
option #1 (tapping NA block where T2 location is, and running T2 banjo bolt with stock hardline)
option #2 (buying a sandwich plate with provided oil line, i know Racing Beat makes one, but i would like to know if an ebay one would provide me with the same result.) my friends with 240's use these all the time.

what im going to run is T2 ecu, pressure sensor, maf sensor, T2 uim, lim, throttle body, oem intercooler, s4 ported turbo, and 550cc injectors.
the reason im going NA-t route is because i had all the parts i needed and my NA block in my car has amazing compression.
any advice would help

option 1 requires engine dis-assembly, helicoil and a different banjo to the mazda one
option 2 is easy
option 3 is tap your own fitting directly into the alum oil filter sandwich , earlier 12a sometimes donate tall ones that make it very easy
( note if top mount you have to use the slim ones )

All reasonable oil feed options are shown here:

Choose whatever is easiest for you. Generally that is the oil filter pedestal with integrated NPT ports.

im thinking that the sandwich adapter wud be a great idea but the biggest factor woud be if it would provide the correct oil pressure to the turbo and the next factor would be the size and thread of the oem oil pedastal filter...
