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.

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.

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.

-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.
