A -3 inlet from the pressure sensor or relocation block should be just fine and a -8 drain to the girdle is plenty adequate. I've been running this way for years with no issues on the 3 turbo's I've used.

So you are running -3an feed on Oil reolocation block? I was thinking to do the same, but I haven't really seen anyone done it. most people have done is on the sandwhich plate.

I am thinking to run -4AN FEED on the reloc block, and -10AN Drain on TC. MY manifold is FBM single.

Mine is on the relocation block that is located on the engine block where the filter used to be. If you look at the inside of it and drill a hole between the two main oil lines, there is enough oil feed area to use. Mine is the Ultimate Racing block.

So what are some signs to look for if the turbo is or isn't getting the proper amount of oil?

How do I know if its to much?
How do I know if its not enough?

Just installed my new Borg s200sx fmw and this is my 1st turbo setup. Only thing I have noticed is when the cars warmed up the compressor wheel doesn't spin. Give it gas it will.

Other than that I'm not sure what to check for....

I think more often than not, this is the underlying issue with people losing turbos.

I've been struggling to keep my compressor housing dry as well, and have been working directly with Reed down @ Workturbochargers to resolve it.
