What to do I've heard so many seperate methods to doing this
First off Yes ill be ordering and installing a sandwich plate and tapping it
with and oil pressure guage.
The lines though
Feed ive heard you can use a stick of brake line?
Return ive heard just high pressure hose from Home Depot, Lowes, etc..
Ideas? :?

get a feed line that will connect to your turbo inlet without adding in unnecessary fittings.

and only problem with "home depot" route on the return is that tubing likes to crimp closed and is prone to leaks.


i went with AN fitting/lines for my feed/return

Here's how I did mine http://civic-eg.com/viewtopic.php?t=11082
I would stick with the stainless braided, a solid brake line might be difficult to install plus you'll have to flare it and get the fittings right.

AN is the way to go. The downpipe is not pressurized, only drains by gravity so you can get by with a hose clamp there is you have to save a few bucks.

stealth mode also makes a good kit.
