i am not the best person to awser this but i am going to try i would wait to hear it from some opne else i just asked this question about a week ago and i was told to tap in to the oil pressure gauge feed line weather this is right or not if it isnt right some one please tell me diffrent becuase i am installing turbo as well on a 2.4 so let ma no to please and i appologize if this awser wasnt the wright one
I have a 2200 thats turbo'd but on my block the oil pressure sensor is right next to the oil filter block. If you have an oil pressure gauge then you will need to make a T fitting which is nothing more than a straight piece of brass tubing and a piece with 3 ports on it.The middle one goes to the straight piece, and the 2 on the ends it doesn't matter which one goes where turbo or oil pressure. If you don't have a oil pressure just run the fitting right into the block. Easy as that
Run your car, not your mouth
on the 2.4 you tap off the oil pressure sensor. it is located on the intake camshaft housing. just pull the sensor out and install an 1/8" or 1/4" brass fitting to extend it out and the put a T-fitting. one side of the t gets the sensor the other gets the feed line. i dont have any close up pics at the moment. maybe i can take one in the morning if you still need help.

Just a little FYI you do not need the oil pressure senor. It will not tell you until it is too late anyway. You can not even use it that will make things simpler or better yet you could put an oil pressure gauge in place of it. Also in order for people to help you you should try and mention what year and engine you have. Also a quick search and you could have found this info. Do not forget to put an inline oil restictor before the oil goes into the turbo.

sorry ... totaly forget to mention that .. i have a 96 z24 ld9 , hope is the same setup ..
were did u get ur fitting.
OK WELL BACK BACK UP!!!!! DO NOT USE A BRASS NIPPLE INTO THE BLOCK, AS WITH VIBRATION AND HEAT IT WILL CRACK OFF AND LEAVE THE THREADS IN THE BLOCK, IT HAPPENED TO ME. SCREW A BARBED NIPPLE AND RUN A LINE TO A TEE, AND FASTEN THE TEE TO THE FIRE WALL, BUT LEAVE ENOUGH SLACK FOR ENGINE MOVEMENT, THEN PROCEED OFF THE TEE TO THE TURBO. I FOUND THIS TO WORK THE BEST, PLUS YOU CAN USE AN "X" INSTEAD AND HAVE A PORT IF YOU WANT AN EXTERNAL OIL TEMP OR PRESSURE GUAGE!
I ran the same thing MyZcar, mine was just cleaner for over 2 years with no problems. I think the last thing I would trust is barbed fittings anyway.
