you will need to take off the banjo bolt that connects the oil supply line to the block and either get one without a restrictor or drill the restrictor out.my rb20 had a restrictor banjo bolt but im going to be running another bb turbo, but it has an internal restrictor so i drilled mine out a touch.if you dont do this the oil will fry because of oil starvation due to the fact that bb turbos need less oil than standard bush turbos.

Or just run a braided line with a -AN fitting.

Hmm. I have running the stock Banjo fitting off the block and then it goes to a braided stanless line to the turbo.I have been running this way for almost half a year.

on my engine as it sits now i have a good ridge banjo with a 12mm hole and -4an fitting.it then goes to a -4 pushfit hose then to the turbo using a -4an to 7/16" inverted flare adaptor.you still will need to enlarge the stock banjo bolt if you are running a bush turbo unless you can find a 25mm long 12mm banjo with a 1.25 pitch on it.
