where to tap into to feed a turbo

On a 99loaded F150 4x4 as with the 5.4.

Looking to see if someone can tell me the size of the T fittings i need to feed a turbo. Im assuming use the oil pressure send unit and tap into it?

you can tap into the oil pressure sensor thats where i feed the turbo on my civic put with the oil return line your gonna need to run that straight to the oil pan. ive seen some pretty crazy ways thats been done from using the oil drain plug hole to just straight drilling at taping the oil pan. the size well u dont have to go crazy. i ran 25 pounds of boost with a 1/2 feed and return line.

Do u know the size of the T fittings for the sending unit?

Its funny u mention drain plug because i was thinking that too. I really dont want to mess with drilling and tapping the oil pan. Also thought about just running the return line into the dipstick for the oil.

Thanks for any info.
