Default any way around drilling the oil pan?

I dont know if this is a dumb question or not, but i was wondering if i could buy a oil relocation kit and T into the line to oil my turbo? im also thinking about running the sts turbo oil pump kit.

You can get the oil feed from the relocation, but most do off the side of the block. IMO its easier that way.

Drain - you either have to tap the pan (ok) or the girdle (recommended).. those pumps that allow you to use the drain plug hole for the turbo drain are just another weak point to worry about. What if the pump fails? Your'e ****ed!

It will work, but it is another point of failure. I used the turbowerx pump on my old car and it never failed on me (3yrs). I think the new Ptuning turbo kit is using the turbowerx pump from the pictures they posted.

I ran mine to an adapter fitting into the oil drain on the pan. It is a -10 line and haven't had any issues, been on there a couple years. Would only recomend it for a bb turbo using an oil restrictor. Might have issues on a journal bearing turbo.

I bought the base-model pump for $229. it works great for someone who doesn't want to tap the pan or low mounting turbo.
