I'm wondering if he put an aftermarket oil pressure sensor in the oil pump (the lower right of the pic, that Allen plug). I think OST and some others have done that. I'm considering doing the same when I get my engine built.

Now that is interesting, do you think that the original oil pressure sensor location could be used as a turbo oil feed ?
