Finally decided to drill the piece above the oil pump for a mechanical gauge and get a connection for the oil pressure sending unit out back and Teeing off that. I always appreciate the links brother and with our builds so similar, no point in reinventing the 轮子 Now about those air filters you have?

Would that be considered a restrictor? One of the adapters even had a small ball bearing looking thing in the hole that had several small flat spots on it(assuming that is to allow oil to flow by), but I took it out because the other adapter didn't have one. I'll take a pic tomorrow.
Saw the pic, yeah .03 would be a restrictor, the ebay oil inlet fitting I had on another car didn't have the reduced orifice and blew out the seal and eventually got the bearing, this was also a couple years ago too, looks like they are offering the right inlet stuff to begin with now.

This one of the oil kits I bought. It had one feed and one return kit in each package. The restrictors came with the kits, I didn't buy them seperatly.

What about the air filters? I didn't really wanna move the battery to the trunk and a guy at work gave me one cuz he thought it would fit between the turbo and battery. I bought a match at Advanced Auto for $20.Cheap!!!

Yep, they have red... I would bought that to match my car but I already had a blue one, and I thought the blue blue would match all the -AN fittings.

you need this style

http://www.summitracing.com/search/P...b/?Ns=Rank|Asc

very easy to work with. just spray some wd40 in the hose around the end and on the fitting. put in in a vice and push down hard. its in and it aint coming out unless you cut it.

Well two -10 fittings will not break the bank so I will look into it. I guess the barbs in conjunction with the material hold everything on?
