Turbo Oil Feed Line

[65Cobra]

On my 99 Busa I've been feeding oil to the turbo from the oil galley plug on the lower right side of the engine. Does it matter if I leave the source there, or use the unused oil galley plug on the left side of the engine? I'm changing the line and check valve so if I'm better off using another source, now is the time to make the change. Thanks.

either side works fine. i did have the fittings on the right side but they were rubbing on the lower panel so i switched to the left.

65cobra I am going to use the left side so the oil line doesnt have to cross the hotside of the turbo and maybe pick up some heat from it

Thanks guys. I'll see what it looks like both ways and pick whichever side makes the most sense.

are you using a banjo on the gally plug?

Actually I have enough parts to use either banjo or standard fittings, although I didn't plan on using a banjo unless there was an issue with the amount of room available.
