I have my two oil injectors t-d to a nipple on the lower intake manifold by the fuel rail. My friend, who is a proffesional drag racer suggested to do it this way.

That is just a manifold pressure point. Basically the same as I have mine but after looking at this I think I am going to do a mini filter to atmosphere. I have heard many opinions but after looking at the system this seems the best (although still not perfect). I was really expecting someone to jump in and solve this riddle for me.....

If anyone is still interested in this topic, I have had a bad experience with running boost into the oil injectors. Eventually, the crappy vacuum hose that I used, popped off, and oil sprayed out of my injectors all over the top of the engine, causing oil to spill down onto my exhaust and cause all sorts of underhood oil smoke. Embarassing!!!!! So, effectively, mine have been vented to the atmosphere to have oil spray out of them. Maybe I have bad oil injectors, or maybe I have a turbo spraying oil out of the compressor housing, through the vacuum line, and out of the old hose to the injectors all over the engine, but there's no other oil in the IC pipes. Just some more info to add from my experience if anyone's still interested.

Wargasm, so where are you exactly picking up the air supply for the oil injectors? CJ

BTW: Thanks for bringing this back to life. I was just wondering about this the other day.

My oil injectors are connected to the pipe coming off the high pressure side of the turbo... so I have it after the turbo and before the intercooler.

For what it is worth, the HKS T04 kit that I have says to connect the oil injectors to a nipple on the intake side of the compressor. The kit comes with this nipple welded onto the pipe holding the filter element. Not that HKS is the word of authority, but I followed the instructions.
