we had to put a restrictor in line b/c the car was blowing the oil pressure gauge past 80.lol

Mine replaces the stock one if that is what you are asking... If you are doing a single turbo just drill and tap the stock one.

For the APS kit, we just drilled and tapped that flat near the oil filter. Screwed in a T-fitting and connected the two lines.

I drilled out the galley plug near the front of the block. Tapped it for 1/8 NPT, then put in my adapter.
