LT1 turbo oiling

Where is the best place on an LT1 to tap into to get oil pressure for a Turbo and what about a place for an oil return?

TJ: You can tap into the unused port above the oil filter for oil feed. This is how Vortech does it, as many others to feed blowers, turbos, oil cooler....

If you visit Vortech's website, you can view online instructions for tapping the oil pan for the drain. Typically on the front of the pan behind the front main cap. If you have the pan off of the car, you can weld a bung in this area which is a much more robust solution.

There was some discussion about oil returns on this board within the last few months if you want to try a 'search'.
