    remove the oil sending unit. install 2 1/8 npt "T's" the ones with 2 males and 1 female. Screw the 2 T's together then screw the t's into the hole in the block that should leave you with 3 1/8 npt female holes. In 2 install a 1/8 npt to inverted flare for the brake line to feed the turbos and in the last one reinstall the oil sending unit.

    Looking straight down at mine, I drilled and tapped two holes in the flat surface facing me(when it was off the car of course). I then plugged the end that normally has the stock sending unit and I put in a -3 and a -4 fitting in the bar to feed my oil pressure gauge and my turbo.

    I use a 1/8" pipe thread tap.

    Clean it out REALLY GOOD after your done. Brake cleaner, air hose.
