Oiling for turbo's
 

I'm assuming I get the oil for my turbo's from oil sending unit located at the back of the block.

Does anyone know what fitting I need? I would like to use a mechanical gauge since I'm doing a swap and will not be using the electric gauge.

I know this doesnt answer your question but I hope this helps...

Do I install a "T" in the front of the motor or do I install the "T" at the oil filter?

T?? If you need two supplies you can put a T there and one run to each turbo. And run your returns back to the pan.

The line is pressurized so put the "T" wherever you would like.

Be sire to do your research, in relative talk, turbo's do not need a lot of oil. The amount will depend on the size of the turbo itself, IE a 61mm will require much less oil than a 91mm.

Twin 35's, just a little street car project... I think the return is a #10 or #8

I am going to run a fitting under the stock oil pressure sender instead of the one people are showing next to the oil filter housing. Unfortunalty i was only able to find a company in england that sells it

I am using the oil line supply fitting from A&A Corvette for the Vortec super charger.
It replaces the brass oil gallery plug on the front side of the block and has a male -4 fitting,about $20.

Is a -10an too big for a return on the turbo's?

for the high side I think i'm just going to tap above the oil filter like Cracker showed.

From what I have researched, a -10 and -12 are what are suggested for a drain.

-3 and -4 for a feed line. I tapped mine above the oil filter. Many people run a restrictor in the feed line.

I run -4 feed from above the filter, and have a T on it for my oil gauge, I did have a .75 nitrous jet as a restrictor but recently took it out and no issues at all, and a -10 return back to the pan.

That fitting works bad ass!! It bolted up great on my truck. I used a 1/8 npt stait with -3 on the other end .

Does it come with the gasket or no?

no your old one is reusable it has a rubber o-ring.

Kurt Urban likes a -12 drain for a big single.
