2nd port on oil filter housing ?

Postby jethro » Thu Sep 10, 2015 12:34 am

on top of the oil filter housing is the port feeding oil to the turbo. What is the other port for ????
I have an oil pressure gauge in it from when it was on the engine stand- what is supposed to go in that hole ?????
Can I use it for an oil pressure sensor ?

It can be used for whatever you need, I am using it for the feed for my bypass filter.

It's just an extra port. I have seen gauge senders in there on industrial engines. I use it to feed my 2nd turbo.

Just enough power to break everything behind the crankshaft.
