I drilled and tapped the factory sender itself since I was not planning to use it. Use 1/8 npt tap.Then I did a 1/8 npt tee, used two 1/8npt to 4an fittings,and ran two 30 inch an lines to the turbos. Very clean install.
I used the location above the filter for my oil pressure gauge

We make a twin turbo oil distribution block.
It bolts on to the side of the block.

Yes it takes the place of the factory plate that people normally drill and tap.
It comes with new bolts and a new GM gasket.
Both ports are ¼ pipe thread.
It makes it easy to feed you turbos and run a aftermarket oil pressure gauge if you choose to.
Price is $59.00 plus shipping
That adapter that Speed Way sells is a cool piece, but it is hell to get to the back of the
motor to install it in the car.

oil block tried to go to your website on your sig to see if you have any other neat stuff I may need. The link doesn't work for me. I'm definately interested in one of those blocks though.

are you serious? it takes all of two minutes do drill the factory block off plate with a 5/16 or 11/32 bit and then another minute to tap it for 1/8 npt.
you can buy a tee for $4 and youre done. whats so hard or disingenious about that?
same thing goes for the oil sender location. this is too easy to do.

Drilling and taping the stock piece is very easy.
The stock cover puts the fitting at an odd angle,
and wouldn’t work for our turbo placement so
we designed this block to put the fittings where
it would best suit our needs.
I just thought I’d offer it.
