ok no I didnt search why would I do that anywho, I'm abo to finally get this kat off the ground. I would like to know is it okay to tap into the turbos oil feed line to install an oil cooler ? Would the flow still be enough? or would the cooler restrict flow too much? I know this lil t25 only needs so much oil(has a restriction screw installed). The other main question I have is will the drain from the turbo be fast enough to return the oil? in this "theoretical" setup, the cooler and turbo feed would be coming from the oil pressure sender, it would go engine;line;tee;line;cooler;line;turbo;return(from turbo)line;engine possible? sory if this has been over , I did search after search, lol I feel like a newb, I am to ka~t though. Thanks for the help

Quick answer - NO.

Run your oil cooler seperately, the oil feed line is mch smaller. The turbo bearing use very little, and an oil cooler needs more flow to be effective.
