You’re going to need open ports off of the oil feed log (one for each turbo and one for the pressure sensor. I originally threw a few fittings on their to extend the log out....but I always had issues with it leaking. In the end, I found the best method was to drill/tap the log for the 2 extra ports with a NPT Tap and use the appropriate NPT to -AN adaptor. In the end, it was the cheaper route to take...as those adaptors add up in price. If you are using -AN lines, you'll need a npt to -an adaptor...but those can be had for cheap. FYI, I haven't had a drop leak from that location since.

I use the stock (5qts) of oil. The turbo's don't use much oil at all.
As for my tune, I use a stand alone (megasquirt). As with most stand alones, it is a MAP based system which is ideal for forced induction. It also means that you don't have an expensive MAF meter to buy. You will need bigger injectors and fuel pump however.

You can buy everything from here... DIYAutoTune.com Megasquirt Kits / Assembled Engine Management Systems, Wideband o2 Sensor Systems and tuning products
You would need either the MSI or MSII....and you have the option of either buying it pre-assembled or soldering everything up yourself (quite easy...but very time consuming).
Before you do, I highly suggest reading as much as possible here... MegaSquirt - Electronic Fuel Injection Computer by Bowling & Grippo * * ©2005
If you are still interested, you should join the forums here.... www.msefi.com
This is considered a DIY system...and does not have any true dealer support. This is where the forums are extremely helpful….as that is where the knowledgeable people (including the designers) hang out.
I’d also highly suggest searching on here and the corral for people that have built/installed them and read…read…read!
