Turbo oil feed

I imagine the one on the cooler return pipe is temp and the other one is a pressure switch?

I'm not too keen on pinching oil from the vacuum pump.

Does anyone have a schematic on the oil system on these?

Does the oil come from the sump, through filter, past switch then to cooler? Or is it used oil, going through cooler, then through filter, back to sump?

I was thinking I may just put a 1/8 BSPT fitting in place of the temp switch and run a steel line back over to the turbo?

Thoughts?

Sorry to drag up something old. But I have this filter housing too. What is the sensor in this just under the oil filter to the right hand side. Its the little piece under the letter 9 on the filter in your picture.

Hey - I never did figure it out

The oil pressure switch I used was just behind the filter - you can just make out the yellow below the fuel line. Neither of those sensors were connected

From memory I used supply oil from the manifold that runs along the block, there are a series of 1/8 plugs that run alongside. This is filtered and cooled oil, used to supply engine bearings and other critical components

I did find an Engine Manual somewhere, complete with schematic that were used for reference
