Default NA-T oil filter mount

I was wondering if I would be able to use one of the Allen key plugs to feed the oil line to the turbo.

Most folks use the is300 vvti union bolt. it's tapped 1/8 BTP on the end.

thanks for the reply....there are two of them I think does it matter which one. I am making a power steering hose myself since drift motions takes over a week to get here according to them. My power steering went to the right side of the engine via hose and metal pipes along the power steering rack on the frame. Many years ago I had an Aeroquip dealer braise -6 male fittings to each end of that metal pipe. I would like to use one of the filter plugs on the OEM mount with a -4 or a -6 fitting and connect it to the metal pipe that runs along the frame to the right side of the block. I will then run that to the feed for the turbo.

You can drill and tap your stock one for a 1/8 NPT fitting and then get an adapter from that to -3AN or -4AN depending on feed line size.
If you get the one from a newer supra or sc300 or an IS300, it will come drilled already with 1/8 BSPT and its close enough to use a NPT adapter on with some liquid pipe thread sealer but some like to re-tap it as its not an exact fit.
