    There should be a plug on your oil filter housing. Just remove the plug and screw that in its place. That is if that fitting is the same size as the plug.

    Your SS feedline took the place of the old feed line, the plugged hole should still be availible for use.

    you can also drill and tap the banjo bolt in your head that was used to feed the turbo. quite a few guys on nabr have done that.

    you could always try where your OIl Pressure switch goes,you might need a few adaptors if you want to keep your oil light dough,but who needs that stinky ass light anyways,when it turns on,it's usually too late.
    hi, I'm the idiot behind the wrench.

    If you remove your low oil pressure switch and install that big sender your oil filter might not screw on,

    just install it where your old oil pressure gauge sender went....same 1/8npt thread count and everything, just use a little silicone sealant for a leakfree install.
