Because my NA6C now has a turbo just how do i get oil feed for it?
Also can you purchase a sump oil return fitting anywhere?

There is a plug into an oil gallery at the back of the block by the dipstick.
I made up a fitting to go in here as it's close to the turbo.

I've got a few fittings that might do for the sump return. I'll check tonight.
Is the engine in the car yet as it's a fiddly job drilling and tapping the sump if it is?
