Non-Welded oil feed (and return?)?
I wanted to ask if anyone ever heard of a non welded/oilpan mounted feed line for a turbo
I first saw this on an old build on a mustang where the had one the screwed into the oil filter as a sort of spacer. Any clues if anyone makes these for Miata turbo kits.
Thanks Andrew
This is my first post to the forum, but hopefully one of many.

Oil filter would be the pressure side of the equation, not the return drain.
Some have threaded a NPT fitting into the pan with gasket sealer on the threads, and it worked. Proper location for drilling is the most important part. The oil suction tube should be avoided.

I was unaware of that as I’ve never mounted a turbo, does it need a feed line and a drain line? And does the feed line have to be high pressure?
