hey guys. this question has probably been asked so many times but ive got a 2002 model 1.8ltr mx5 and i want to turbo charge it.
i was just wondering if its safe to run 7-10psi with standard internals?
i was also wondering where is the best location to get an oil feed and oil return line for the turbo??
your help would be greatly appreciated.

As in best location on the block
thanks
P.s would you know if it would be safe running 10 psi max with standard internals?

yeah should be fine.

on the block the best place is the oil pressure sender, just beside the oil filter. BEGi and FM sell the adapter you can use....it's 1/8" BSPT so it's hard to come by.

the return is still best to tap in the location in my FAQ.

you'd still need to screw the sender back into a tee, so you still need something with a female 1/8" BSP, correct?

Since we have to come around the engine anyway, do you think using hard lines would be a good idea? Obviously not for the whole length but for the first 80% after the sender.

eh, easier and simpler to use a good length of SS line.

You're probably right. I was trying to avoid the SS lines sawing their way through other lines, wires, etc. These kinds of things are fairly common in my projects. I had a Volvo in college where the auto trans fluid lines wore against the exhaust pipe. I had a really cool smoke screen for awhile.
