Default Oil feed for turbo question

Does anyone know if the port above the oil filter on the pan is pre-filter or post filtered oil? I am planning on feeding my turbo from this port and if it is not post filtered oil I was going to add an inline filter.

I believe that I've read many times that it is post filter.

its dependent on which block you have....
the plain ones that come on vehicles without an oil cooler will be a pre filter oil flow

if you get one of the block offs made for vehicles that had an oil cooler option but arent using it, then you can drill and tap the post filter side of it

Excellent. I tried a search, but couldn't figure out the correct wording to get a good hit. Lol

Thank you.

I have the Moroso conversion pan just like the 20142. I see it has a port right above the filter boss, just wasn't sure if it was pre or post filtered oil.
