take this allen head bung off. it'll prob be lock-tighted on so the allen could round off. best try a helical bolt extractor

then attach an oil feed to it

Frank's does appear to be braided, and within a plastic sheathing - so realistically it's better than just braided hose on its own.

An alternative to using that oil gallery port (as people have raised the issue of oil supply to there in the past) is to use a sandwich plate for the oil filter and use a fitting off that.

Thanks dens, that's what I read then, and they had like a restricter on the line also so not to much all gets pumped in

or even easier and cheaper is to run a tee off the factory oil pressure switch. least then you know if your turbo is getting oil pressure or not.
