Default Quick turbo oil feed line question

First turbo build on my ls. I want to make sure I get oil pressure over to my turbo's. I ran a T off my oil sender port and ran -4an line to my turbos. It's not a Y fitting it is a T. I have oil pressure on my gauge but I have a relocated oil filter housing and running my pressure sender off that housing. I know this might be a rookie question. But I wanna make sure before I go and start this thing and try to drive it without oil to my turbos.

I just spun mine with the starter until I had oil at the turbo.
I also removed the oil fitting at the turbo just prior to first fire to ensure the turbo had oil.

This was all recommended by forced inductions.

Thanks Ron I actually did get pressure from there with the T at the back. I am now battle a low oil pressure issue.
