That's a good spot for the oil feed on the turbo. I can't believe I never thought of using that. Lol

You can just get rid of the VTEC pressure switch altogether. The AEM doesn't use it anyway. Then just put your fitting in there for the turbo feed. Remember though, the threads there are NOT pipe thread, so just use a straight cut fitting and some teflon tape on the threads.

Way back in the day when I was turbo, that's where I got my oil feed from.

I don't think it's a question of pressure, I think it's a question of adequate flow. I swear I remember reading somewhere it wasn't good enough, but I am only basing this on hearsay.

I agree. The VTEC oil pressure switch area see's the same pressures as the oil pressure switch area. You have to remember, VTEC only works on something like 55+ psi minimum of oil pressure and that's an indication that there is plenty of pressure and oil supply from that area.

Does anyone have the exact size of the T-fitting needed to use the oil pressure switch location?
