:wales: The turbo oil feed pipe fits into a t-peice that screws into where the oil pressure sender goes, the sender goes in the other end. Turbo Phil gave me this advice last week (cheers Phil :grin: ) and since then I've been trying to get a t-peice but with no luck so far :sad:

You could tap it into there yes, but it is unfiltered oil coming from the pump.
The original position for the oil feed comes from the main gallery which is after the filter.

PS. Mighty Mini did you recieve the Turbo elbow ok ? i sent it on wednesday.

Phil. :D

Well thats ok, because i really wanted to prefilter the turbo's oil seperatly anyway. But i may use the T-peice place, because my local hydraulics shop has all the pieces ill need. and for a small amount of ££.



yes i received the elbow saturday :D will send the cheque asap. im going to send £10 because of the extra delivery cost, and because its helped me alot :smartass:
