Default turbo oil plumbing

i'm going to convert my cvh to turbo. it's a bit tricky because i live in china and it's a made in china version, but i already converted it to twin webers with emerald ecu for the ignition so i feel i can do anything.

what i need to know is where and how the oil feed comes from on the original rst? a photo of the place where the tapping is would help.

i've got an original erst exhaust manifold, and suppliers lined up for the air plumbing and intercooler. will go back to efi, but controlled by emerald.

cheers

It's plumbed in by a special fitting where your oil pressure gauge switch is.

I dont know whether this will help but on the Turbo Technics conversion they used an adaptor which fitted into the outlet for the oil pressure switch, and then ran a small metal pipe around the engine to the top of the turbo, i could take a pic tomorrow to show you what it looks like
