Default Turbo B18B1 Oil Feed/Return

can a sandwich oil adapter be used instead of drilling a hole and welding the feed/return line in the oil pan?

i know the oil is pressurized when it goes through the adapter, so i'm not sure if it will work with the turbo. i am also pretty sure that oil is not pressurized when it is in the oil pan, so i'm guessing the turbo creates a vacuum to suck the oil up.

think a sandwich adapter will work???

nope wont work....your oil feed line is already pressurized and by connecting the return line to a sandwich which u pretty much answered yourself is pressurized will not allow the oil to drain properly. end result= blowing the turbo seals.....my suggestion is to do it by drilling the oil pan.
