Ive been looking around using the search for info on how they work, installation etc.
Can anyone help as im curious for my turbo build. Gone away from supercharging as its not as efficient.
Thanks

I know there's some info online somewhere - probably on Turbo Minis. Looked quite easy, Ford jets tapped in to the gallery.

It's not essential unless you're running a lot of boost a high compression ratio or pistons you really shouldn't be using..

It's by no means an essential mod, but for the small cost involved it's beneficial.

Is this a simple enough task to do for a fairly novice engine builder?

it depends on how confident you feel drilling and tapping your block. i didn't fancy it but we did my mates and it turned out ok.

Could you use these on supercharged engines?

Yes, if anything it will be less of a concern as you won't be already pinching oil pressure to pump through turbo bearings.

From Turbo-Mini.comA 3mm hole is then drilled inside the 8mm hole at the base and at an angle into the main oil gallery.
How hard is it to find the oil gallery?

Turbomini.com is Turbo-Phil.
Yer I know, I just wanted to show where it was from lol, been looking at Turbo Minis, and some good pictures up there. Its easy to use a drill, but how hard is it to get it right, and find the oil gallery?
Here is the link:
