Turbo Rx-8

Where does the turbo inlet oil line come from on the engine if you turbo an rx8

Is it the same as an FD turbo line feed?

It taps into the oil pressure sensor screw hole located at the base of the oil filter neck, utilizing a 'T' fitting

or an oil filter sandwich plate, better than a brittle tee that can snap.
