This is a basic guide to help you install your oil line kit.

The source of oil for your turbo is the starting point of creating your oil line kit.
Most vehicles use the factory oil pressure sensor as a starting point, while some
cars use other areas such as the head or directly off the oil pump. Our kit can
be made for any source, though the majority of our customers use the factory
oil pressure sensor.

Our custom block fitting uses this sensor port to pull the oil source while retaining the,
factory oil pressure sensor function. Virtually all oil pressure sensors are a rare 1/8 bspt,
and are a very difficult thread size to find. Our block fitting has the correct 1/8 bspt male
threads for the oil pressure sensor port, and a 1/8 bspt female port on the back to retain
the factory oil pressure sensor. Off the sides of the block fitting are two 1/8 npt female
ports to create the oil source. When only using one port the other is plugged with a 1/8 npt plug.

Once you have determined where your oil source will be, then you will need figure out
how you would like to route your oil feed line, and measure how long it will need to be.
Measure from the oil source to the turbo oil inlet. Our feed lines are 48" and are long
enough for virtually all engine bay dimensions. If a longer line is needed, feel free to
send us an email.

The drain hose is what will carry the oil out of the turbo and back into the oil pan.
Depending on how far your manifold sets your turbo from the oil pan, you may need
a different length of drain hose. Those with turbos further from the oil pan than 14in
are encouraged to order our Universal Kit which has a 20 inch drain hose.

Installing the included barb fitting into the oil pan will allow the oil used to cool the turbo
to be returned to the engine via the oil pan. There are many different fittings you can install.
You can weld a 5/8 O.D. (Drain hose has 5/8 I.D.) length of pipe to the pan as well.

Mount the turbo and manifold to get an idea of where it's going to sit. Either place or install
the oil pan, and make a mark that will give you the best downward slope. It should be
somewhere between the top and 1 1/2 inches down. After you have it marked, make a pilot
hole, and drill it out using a drill bit slightly smaller than the 3/8 threaded end of the barb fitting.
Use your drill to slowly open the hole up until you can get the threads to "catch".

At this point your hole is where you need it to be to thread in your fitting. This is when I
clean the pan completely with gasoline. Gas picks up all the metal shavings well. I slosh it
around a couple times, a dump. I do this about 3 times and then wipe it down.

Start threading it in. Before the base of the barb fitting gets to the oil pan, you're going to want to
use a sealer on the base of the pan around the hole. I use JB weld as well as a lot of customers
I hear from. RTV would probably work as well as others. Put the sealer around the hole. Tighten
down the barb fitting until the base of it touches the pan. I don't torque it on there, but I tighten it.
After it's tight, put another layer of sealer around the base of it.
