Yeah, it is in under the lh engine mount. Remove the engine mount and grind a bit of the web, then you can use a straight fitting out of the block. That is all there is too it!

I tried to get the grub screw out to no avail! Even welded stuff to it..... No chance. It's only a 5mm allen key from memore and they round off like butter..... Give it a try, if it fails, just get the oil feed from the pressure sender on the other side of the block, above the oil filters.
Easy as, just get a t-piece from Pirtek.

Nearly all the aftermarket turbo kits take their oil feed from there.

I used a 90 deg fitting didn't need to grind the block and managed to get the grub screw out without removing the engine mount.

I had read the grub screw behind the LH engine mount was a pain so I soaked it with rost off for a couple of days before and heated it up a bit - not heaps, just used an electric heat gun. It came out easy as.

The feed point is in between the two webbings on the passenger side engine mount. Mine came out easy as, and i used a straight fitting and braided line (Speedflow). Others (like AJ) have found the grub screw almost impossible to remove.
