can anybody with an aftermarket turbo tell me where the oil inlet & outlet goes to?
i got the one on the bottom of the turbo draining--i guess-- to the alternator
and i cant figure out where to put this one in the TOP pic??
( under wastegate piping)
cheer fellas

There should have been a T adaptor that screws into where the oil sender is. The turbo takes its oil feed from there. I think it goes from there, through the cooler, then to the turbo, then out to the same union as the return from the alternator.

from personal experience you dont want to use a tee peice onto the block that holds the oil pressure sender and turbo oil feed. it will after time crack at the block from the vibrations and weight on the tee fitting, which 'can' result in loss of oil and engine failure if not seen quick enough. plus getting the broken part from the block is a right pain in the ass!!
best way for the turbo oil feed is to use a oil line from the boss in the block where the oil pressure sender goes to a remote mounted tee peice that holds the oil pressure sender and feed pipe to the turbo.
here's some pics of the oil feed on the turbo of my mr2 (i dont have any of the feroza's here at the moment).
the oil return should be at least 5/8" in size and shouuld be free flowing directly to the sump, most turbo's dont like a shared oil return.
here is the one i've done on the feroza.

its all under control for the moment its hooked up.
i see were you commin from with the vibrations...
if the "T" was connnected to the block tight/hard, it would lesson the vibs
as far as i can tell...
mind you im just trying to word it as to cover my butt at the same time
