Putting a SR20DE + T together and want to tap the block in the "original" DET location for turbo oil supply. Which is the oil supply line? top or bottom

just to avoid any confusion, on the block the bottom line is the oil supply but on the turbo the top line is the oil supply...it goes from bottom to top.

Hahaha! that made my morning! Just note when doing/looking at turbo set-ups that 99.9% of the time the oil lines are significantly smaller than the coolant lines.

^^yar..that dude confused the fuck out of me....it's the top one, you can tell because of the corrosion caused by the water/coolant if you look at the pictar closely. notice there is no corrosion on the bottom, more narrow hard line, which is the oil line.

the oil line leads to the top of the turbo using gravity to lubricate the journal bearings/turbine shaft.
