I have a very low milage late 80s 6.2, my 93 6.5 is near the grave.
I am considering dropping the turbo, pump and injectors on the 6.2 but there is no provision for the turbo oil feed on the 6.2.

Where do the aftermarket turbos oil from? Are there any other items I should be aware of?
Thanks for your input.

Hi Bob,
The turbo on my 6.2L gets it's oil feed from the oil pressure port in the back of the motor. Back of the valley, toward the drivers side, where the oil pres gauge sending unit/line is, I put a "tee" in the line, fed the gage and turbo, no problems in 2 years/35K miles. Figure it's a good sign my turbo is getting oil as long as the gauge reads plenty of pressure! The fittings are 1/4" NPT, and if your oil line to the turbo isn't long enough, I'm sure any parts store that makes hydrolic hoses would be able to make what you need.
Good luck!
