Default Oil feed line for the Turbo

I have an 80 mm T6 turbo and was wondering where to hook the feed line from the motor. I'm using the lower driver's-side alternator mount so that one's out of the question. I was recommended to use the –6 line. Any suggestions? Also, it will need to be filtered.

I pull oil from the oil pressure sensor on the valley cover, I have drilled and tapped and also used an aeroflow adapter.

I, and several others, use the bypass port right above the oil filter. You can get an f-body port and tap it for an 1/8" or 1/4" npt, or there are countless manufacturers, cheap and expensive, that make covers for this port that are already tapped.

This port is already filtered by the oil filter before it goes into the rest of the motor.

This is also where I've tapped/teed in my oil pressure sender for my gauge, as it will tell me that I have oil pressure to my turbo at the same time. It also keeps me from over cluttering the back of my intake.

This is where I put mine.

Here's a shot of how I routed mine also. I ran a -4 flex line up to a bulkhead on my firewall. Then bent a hard line around to the fender by the turbo. Then another flex line to the turbo itself because it moves with the engine.
