Use what? The rubber vacuum hose no way. You need a good quality stainless line with no areas that will rub a hole in it. The oil pressure from the tap on the oil filter will run as high as 50psi on cold starts. If you do blow the oil feed line to the turbo you will kill the turbo and the motor will dump all it's oil in less then 1 minute. So don't go cheep on that turbo oil feed line

If your talking about the oil filter housing top then yes you sure can. I did it successfully without issue however it will be unfiltered oil reaching the turbo

No problem. I'm thinking of running an alloy inline filter in the actual oil feed line.

Thanks for your input!
