Turbo oil supply from block

Due to a stripped out thread on my cylinder head for the oil feed line, I've blocked off the hole and I'm now trying a different route. I now have a SS -4AN line from the turbo to a tee between the block and oil pressure sensor. My question is will that provide enough pressure to the turbo? Too much to where I'd need a filter/restrictor in-line? This is on a IX turbo.

Iam having the same question? I reciently sold my fp black and I still have the fp oil feed line feeding a stock evo 9 turbo. If anyone knows, will this be okay to used the same fp oil line instead of the stock line from the head.

running it from the oil filter housing is better then the head...... the oil cleaner and okevolutionVIII i think it will be ok where you have it feeding from but would be better from the oil filter housing.

Oil filter housing is the best place, not only because its cleaner but the pressure at the oil filter housing is better for the turbo.

I plan on running it that way in the future, I'm just trying to get the car running and will not be pushing it hard for a while. I've seen a lot of Hondas run the line off the block but never seen/heard of this done on a 4G63. I just want to make sure there's enough pressure.
