They both "fit". You have to start all the bolts before tightening any of them. I went with the Tomei because it was less expensive, and I think it looks better.

You certainly should not bother feeding the B.B. turbo from the OFH. The head feed gives it plenty of oil.
I just just ordered Turbosmart's turbo feed oil pressure regulator to install. Hoping that clears this up.

Got a short idle clip in the dark last night lol. Sounds mean. Mivec can make the cams disappear, but I prefer the lumpy/lopey idle.

So, oil pressure to the turbo while at idle with oil at 175* was 6psi tonight. Wayyyy too much. Engine oil pressure was about 22psi.

Sean, can you provide all the oil data before and after you put the turbosmart regulator on. As it stands now , you have the ER gear, BS delete and no oil squirters.
Oil weight.
Cold start pressure to the CHRA
160* idle pressure to CHRA
6000 rpm pressure to CHRA
I experienced 35+ psi going to the CHRA on startup before the regulator (.030 and old style chra) even with a ported oil bypass, stock oil pump gear, oil squirters and BS delete . After the regulator startup pressure went down to 25psi When I was using the .030 to the old style CHRA.
After the regulator (modded spring) and with the new CHRA and .020
Oil weight 5-40
cold start 15psi quickly down to 12psi at 1300
160* @ 1-2psi
6000 @10-11 psi
Oil pressure and crankcase pressure are both in check and I do not have any oil moving out of the turbocharger.
