I have read where you must tap the block for oiling to and from turbo, but what about an adapter where the oil filter goes for a remote cooler.
Would this not work for Feed and Return for turbo oiling ?
Seems like it would be easier and no risk of metal filings from tapping.
Thanks

for the oil to the turbo just put a T in the block where the oil pressure sensor goes, it's either 1/8" NPT or 1/4" NPT (I think 1/8"), that's how the factory turbo 2.3L's do it. For the return, you can drill and tap the oil pan if you don't want to tap the block, the hole just needs to be above the oil level at all times.
