Depends on a ton of stuff. Decide where you're routing the line, then decide how long it needs to be.

use the oil fitting on the rear of the block near the trans. order 3 foot length and cut to fit.

was planning on getting a pre-assembled stainless line and i will for sure be using the oil feed line on the side of the block.

Thanks again.

You can use a Piece of wire or thin rod to figure out where you're routing the line, then measure off of that how long you need.

When I prime the Turbo I squirt as much oil in it as I can, then hook up the line, and turn the motor over with no fuel till the oil gauge shows pressure. Bam. Primed. If there is a better way let me know.

A much easier way, albeit scary is to hold the compressor still with your hand and have someone start the car. Voila, primed turbo in seconds!
