oil feed on n/a when turboing, alternative way ?

[mikey4410]

Is it true u can use the oil pressure switch hole t-pieced to give a secondary feed that can then go to feed the turbo safely ?

This will obviously save taping and altering the standard oil housing to convert for fte oil housing.

Comment would be appreciated

I'm not really sure, but wouldn't that be really high pressure feed?

[mikey4410]

No more so than the rest of engine I guess.

I am sure I read the other day sonebody doing this on an n/a

Yes you can do it like that thats how mine used to be, I took the feed from the oil pressure switch using a T piece.

U could use a feed from a sandwich plate either.

You can use a sandwich plate thats how I have mine now, mocal sandwich plate drilled and tapped for the feed. They just go where the filter should be I am also running a remote oil filter too.

I never had any problems with it set up like that! my first turbo N/A was like this and then this one started off the same way but was changed later on. But I never had any problems with it!
