FpBlack Oil feed setup

Just recieved one, and I am thinking about instalation.

Black is coming with oil feed line direct from filter, but usually turbo is feeded from head. I understand that from filter there will be more oil presure, but I was just interested in how other people did.

Follow FP's instructions unless you dont mind the risk of destroying a $2000 turbo.

There is a reason Fp stock frame turbos run from the oil housing... Follow the directions for the install and you wont have problems

Factory frame turbos are journal bearing and require much more lubrication as apposed to ballbearing turbos. FP discovered through testing that the larger stock frame turbos are creating enough g-force to cause a spiking drop in oil pressure to damage the turbo if fed from the head.

^that.

Follow FP's instruction to a tee. They know how to route and install the oil-lines through lots of R&D and lots of failures using the head as a oil pressure source.
