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 space=
r between the filter and the pad to create an oil supply for the PSRU but p=
lan to-- with the group's consensus-- use a T in the line that would normal=
ly feed the turbo alone from the front iron. =C2=A0 The feed and return to =
the filter pad have been plugged by what seems to be threaded plugs with al=
len heads. =C2=A0I tried to gingerly remove the feed one and abandoned the =
idea as it seemed to be very well seated. =C2=A0I did not try heat and I co=
uld have. =C2=A0 Maybe I should revisit the idea? =C2=A0=20

I did not buy the engine from Bruce-- instead I sourced it second-hand. =C2=
=A0I don't personally know Bruce and I'm not sure how he'd like to have me =
pick his brain on this matter. =C2=A0I figured I'd leave him alone.=20

I am using a journal bearing turbo and I am running a restrictor at the tur=
bo oil inlet. =C2=A0I would then use a t fitting and branch off for the PSR=
U feed.=20

My plans are to use a spacer between the oil pan and the oil level sending =
unit and tap it for a fitting... =C2=A0the drain then would enter the same =
space that the oil level sender occupies in the pan... =C2=A0make sense? =
=C2=A0=20

Does anybody see a good reason not to do either of those?=20

I'm down to plumbing and wiring now. =C2=A0Head scratching is becoming more=
 common in my shop routines.=20

Please advise.=20
