I got to thinking and whatever my oil pressure gauge is reading is obviously what is going through my feed line as well since its coming off the same set of ports so I'm good there. I understand what turbolancer is saying but I know I'm good there. As far as the adapter coming off when changing oil goes if you did it correct there's no way that will happen. You put the filter on snug hand tight where the adapter is much tighter using a wrench to secure it down.

GREAT NEWS!!! IM TURBOED its so sweet you can hear the turbo spool up, I havent boosted yet because everything is pretty much still getting used to running, plus 03 lance your tune is actually letting my car run but it seems like when I accelerate it wont go any higher? not sure why but we will see in about a week when I get the car used to running with the turbo, I will post pics of my setup tomorrow plus the front bumper has to go on anyways so thank you to everyone for making my dream possible of driving and owning my first turbocharged car!!! And If I need anything else with my car I will make sure to ask people, next steps now is a tactrix cable, window tint, alarm system and then rims and im done with the car officially!!!

like it feels like it bogs down or something, or maybe I was babying the car kinda scared to boost it, but everything seems to be running pretty normal, I have a check engine light but thats because of the o2 sensor on the bottom is taken off becuase I had the guy weld the bung to close to the bottom of the car... cant really explain it, maybe I take the car a little faster than today just to see where I stand at with your tune. hopefully the tune is starting to mesh together

From what I've read, I'm really onboard with what 03lances says. People are running 10 psi on our cars safely, but only because of meticulous tuning. If you have a sloppy tune that isn't meant for your car, or you use an FMU or something like that that is just an approx of what your fuel should do....you're not safe.
Without sounding like your mommy..."No wide open throttle until you get the tune personalized, can see the knock, and can log the AFRs"
*EDIT* oh crap, I forgot. GRATZ on the TURBO!!!
