Hey guys, couple of questions. Do you think it is a bad idea to run the oil feed line from my oil filter adapter plate? Or should I do it as recommended from the factory oil pressure sending unit? Juts seems like a shorter line from the filter adapter plate would be better.
Also, is running the drain line to the oil drain pan plug okay? I use an oil extractor for oil changes anyway.

Now you have me wondering.
Dude buy the Greddy oil pan .... makes the job much easier.
Changing oil pans is not that hard.

I would run it anywhere BUT the oil pressure sender ;0 ...that thing has a strange thread...is in the corner where it is a bitch to hook up...and if it breaks in the block it is a PIA to remove without pulling the engine
If you have a adapter that's where I would put it......\\
You can use the oil drain...but it isn't too big of a deal to drill a hole and use a bulkhead type hydraulic fitting to do a nice adapter...just have to pull the oil pan thats the only downside

Thanks, what is the minimum size the feed line should be? My adapter only has the small NPT ports on it.
I have two factory pans but the new motor will come all sealed up, I'd hate to pull the pan off of it. If I can use the factory drain plug location I would like too.

here's MM's old setup (no idea if he changed it since or not). looks like it was bolted to the pan.
I used the 45 degree, 1/2 NPT to 5/8" barb fitting from atpturbo and welded a 1/2 NPT bung to my oil pain. On the opposite side of the drain plug though (front of vehicle).
Since both his and mine are more custom setups, maybe someone will chime in as to where to mount the flange on the oil pan specific to the greddy turbo. But the turbo kit did come with a 5/8" barb to M14x1.5 (i think that's the drain size) to fit at the drain plug.

Yeah I have that, what do you think about returning it to the front cover? Rob at pineapple told me it's best to have it return above the oil level in the pan if possible.

He doesn't have a lot of experience with the greddy kit so I sent him pictures of the manifold, etc. so he can see how it will mount.

Let's talk vacuum lines. How much should I order and do you recommend silicone?
I am thinking of getting this wideband O2. thoughts?

I'd use something like this....cut the male NPT flush with the hex on the inside....and you are good to go...use 5/8" or -10
