Default 1.6 oil feed
In pluming in the oil feed line, I have heard of people using a gulley plug on the back driver side of the head, and also I've heard of people taking the feed from the side of the block next to the dipstick port, advice please?

Reference oil where there is oil pressure. Why is this hard? What advice are you looking for? Choose one.


When you take your wheels off, which lug nut do you start with?

Just t off the oil sensor on the other side of the block and run a feed line from there to the turbo.

Use the oil port near the dipstick.

Lord no, I wouldn't use that hard line, I have some braided stuff that was supposed to come from FM... As far as my lugnuts, I always remove the big center one, why remove 4 instead of 1??
