What engine do you have?
And are the feed lines from ebay good quality? I've got a gt28 that I need all new fittings for, might try to find a complete set of feed lines and banjo bolts and stuff.

All you do is tap into the back of the block where the oil pressure sensor is. So a T fitting with two male sides and one female. Then buy like 18'' long SS braided line. and done.
Or find BPT hard lines from someone. Use whatever the turbo manufacture recommends.

Y would i tap into the back when the oil is up front on are motors. I am asking for the right stuff to use the line up front and that gives my urbo the right amount of oil.

Aww see now we are getting somewhere.... You want OE BPT hard lines!? YES?
Your best bet is to find them in club protege used. I am pretty sure I have a set laying around. AND FYI there is just as much oil pressure on the back as there is the front fitting. And it is not doing it "wrong" by tapping the rear, most people do. It is easy, and away from the exhaust unlike the OE port on the front. The OE hardware will only fit a IHI VJ14, VJ11, VJ20 or VJ26. It could be adapted to fit others. I have run a VF10 and a VF12 as well. I understand what you are saying about doing it "right" but it is not as critical as I think, you, think it is.
