Hello all,=20

I am plumbing the PSRU for both supply and drain.=20

My rear iron has been modified by Bruce Turrentine-- so I can't use a spacer=
 between the filter and the pad to create an oil supply for the PSRU but pla=
n to-- with the group's consensus-- use a T in the line that would normally f=
eed the turbo alone from the front iron.   The feed and return to the filter=
 pad have been plugged by what seems to be threaded plugs with allen heads. =
 I tried to gingerly remove the feed one and abandoned the idea as it seemed=
 to be very well seated.  I did not try heat and I could have.   Maybe I sho=
uld revisit the idea? =20

I did not buy the engine from Bruce-- instead I sourced it second-hand.  I d=
on't personally know Bruce and I'm not sure how he'd like to have me pick hi=
s brain on this matter.  I figured I'd leave him alone.

I am using a journal bearing turbo and I am running a restrictor at the turb=
o oil inlet.  I would then use a t fitting and branch off for the PSRU feed.=


My plans are to use a spacer between the oil pan and the oil level sending u=
nit and tap it for a fitting...  the drain then would enter the same space t=
hat the oil level sender occupies in the pan...  make sense? =20

Does anybody see a good reason not to do either of those?

I'm down to plumbing and wiring now.  Head scratching is becoming more commo=
n in my shop routines.=20

Please advise.

Regards,=20
