Im building a 4.1 and I was wanting to know where the 3.8s feed the turbo with oil? I figured it was on the front cover somewhere but i wasnt sure. Any help?
 
The factory 86/87 LC2 has a brass block that screws directly into a hole in the block. This brass block not only has the oil feed line on one side, but also has the factory oil pressure sending unit screwed into it for the dash board idiot light. This brass block is located on the passengers side of the motor just below the turbocharger.
Here are a few pics of the general location, and one pic of the brass block itself.
Kinda hard to photograph but hopefully you get the idea.

Ill have to look at my block, I think there is a hole in the same place for the oil pressure sending unit, I could get one of those brass blocks and tap the hole out if its to small .Thanks alot for the pics and help Patrick.
