Default need a different oil feed source for turbo

I need a place to get my oil feed from for my turbo...
i cant tap above the oil filter like i see commonly done, due to extremely tight header collector.. (gmc sonoma lsx)

what are the other locations...?
i was gonna try and "T" under the oil pressure send but not such good luck with hardware store fittings..

There are a couple places you can pull oil from on a stock block. Can you do it at the front of the oil passage on the driver side right behind the front cover?

That small plug you see in the pic below is a rare earth magnet that help keep trash out of your turbos' oil supply.

I used the oil galley plug on the front driver side of the engine. it's a 16mmx1.5 hole comes directly from oil pump.
this would work http://www.summitracing.com/parts/ATM-2268/

Get the thermotec sleeve. its thin but it keeps the heat out very very well. We had problems with fuel boiling in the lines and the sleeve eliminated the problem and keeps the fuel WAY cooler. Before it was hot to touch in the fuel tank, now its ambient.

i can get that exact sleeve if you think thats the best, i already have some of the DEi fire sleeve. its iron oxide silicone coated fibergalss, and is rated for 500*F contact and 2000*F ambient...
i value your opinion. just asking because i have this brand sitting in front of me thats all
