Default What is this on the block oil ports?

Is this an oil feed, like one I could feed a turbo off of?

That piece was used on Corvettes for an oil temp probe. You can use it for turbo oil feed, most use it for a mechanical gauge port...

That actually is not just an oil feed. It is a port through which 100% of the oil entering the engine flows, after the oil exits the oil filter.

It can be used for turbo oil feeds or pressure gauges or whatever, just don't make the oil supply from it so large that the parallel supply kills oil pressure to the engine.
