for the oil feed line you can just tap into the stock oil pressure port. it is just below your oil filter. i will provide you with a link of the necessary oil line parts you will need to complete it. its pretty simple.zerothread?id=96306i ordered all the parts for the t3 turbo and it works great. you may want to add an oil restrictor to that list because it is needed. zerothread?id=107008good info on the restrictor. just search around and you will find just about any answer you need.

you could also go my route for the feed line and still tap into the same port right by the oil filter, but you would purchase the fitting from http://www.tunertoys.com

The fitting comes in two styles. One with two 1/8 NPT ports and the other with only 1 1/8 NPT port. They both have a 1/8 BSPT port for your factory oil pressure sender switch and i can vouch for there excellent customer service. The fitting costs about 20 bux and it is not made of brass.

Wild maxx's route is also good too so its really up to you as to which way you want to do it.......

For the oil return line, I went by Ivan's (Ivanatspracing) measurements for where to tap the oil pan so if you just run a search on oil pan, you should find it.
