I need to run an oil line from the block to my turbos. My question is which tap on the block would be best? It would be easiest to run it from the fitting above the timing cover on the front of the engine. However, most of the ones I've seen either got it from the pressure sending unit above the filter, or from the one behind the manifold. Is there any real difference in oil flow, or are they all the same?

They're all the same. You could also Tee into any of them such as the sending unit. It won't effect the flow.

best bet is to tee off at the pressure sending unit behind drivers head. this is coming straight from the filter, less chance of contaminating the the turbos.

Go to a hospital and see if you can get your hands on one of those stainless steel stands which are used to suspend IV bags above a patient. Just attach that sucker to your antenna mount location, and hang a quart of oil from it.

 

Actually I was just thinking of running a whole seperater oil system Dale. I'd put a reserve tank under my bumper, run the drain lines to it, and use my winshield washer pump to pump the oil up through the turbos

Now there's a great idea!
