Oil Cooler Adapter for Oil Line to turbo? Does anybody use this for oil line to turbo? Was told I could use one of these rather than taking the pan off and having to get a bung welded for the oil lines. Just want to make sure its an efficient way to get oil supply to turbo...

For the oil feed line most people will just tap the block off plate above the oil filter on the side of the oil pan, it comes off with (2) 10mm bolts and can be tapped with 1/8" npt and run a $3 1/8" to -4an fitting in it. Then run a -4an line to the turbo for the feed. I can get you pictures to better explain tomorrow.
As far as the drain goes, you really should weld at least a -10an bung in the oil pan/ front cover, above the oil level. Some tap the pan with 1/2" npt i think and run a 1/2" to -10an fitting in the pan. Welding is the best option but sometimes thats not possible.
