why is it "safe" to have 4 feet of oil feed line?
i believe on mine its 30 inches or 2.5 feet. but it goes to the block using one of the 2 oil supply holes already tapped from the factory.
my oil supply is a -4 AN. 30 inches hose from block to turbo
and my return is -10 AN about 2 feet from turbo to aluminum sub pan.
roughly about 200 bux in steel braided lines and fittings. since i run water cooled turbo. those are -6 AN.

I'll tell you one thing. The diesel guys talking about -10 AN lines possibly being too small for an oil drain isn't far fetched.
Check out youtube and search for turbo oil drain videos. There's a couple videos where the people actually let the oil flow into a bucket or bottle, while the car is running and it's amazing how much oil actually flows out of the drain. It's not a small trickle, it's ALOT and when you rev the motor, it's even more!
This is actually a really cool looking oil drain.

i said safe because he is using the ge block , so the line will either go from the driver side , around the block then to the turbo.
Or from the oil filter housing , then under the oil pan to the turbo .I said safe just to be sure he has enough line.

Here are a few shots of my oil setup. Couldn’t find the best pics but you can get the idea lol. I decided to have my feed line go on top of the valve covers through the front plastic cam cover, hides it very nicely. I used an adapter for the oil pressure sensor that has a -4 fitting on it that I used for the turbo feed. That way you know you are getting oil to the turbo by watching the oil pressure gauge in the cluster.
I also relocated the coil filter and added an coil cooler by using a greddy oil filter block that has 4 -10 fittings; feed and return. It also has 2 small ports that can be used for turbo feed or a temp or pressure gauge. I put a pressure gauge in one port.
Biggu why didnt you just completely remove the ugly oil filter thing and put that adapter straight onto the block? Cleans it up and gives a little more room to play with

Greddy filter block
Money/oilfeed shot
hope this helps some!
