I'm tapping into the return line elbow for my line into my water pump (suction side). I'm thinking of tapping directly into the aluminum return at the top of the motor when it's pulled and rebuilt. That is near the stock location, and it is the best location since it will catch vapor temp whereas my connection will not. This was tested and confirmed twice I'm not sure about oil, so I would like to hear what others have to say. On my WRX oil pump which is similar to the SVX oil pump, there are some plug connections on the pump itself which look like it could be fitted with a pressure sender. It also looks like it could be fitted with an oil cooler. There are two plugs I think one high and one low pressure. I have actually considered getting rid of my oil cooler filter sandwitch, and running a line from the pump, to the oil cooler, and then through the turbo. The oil return would be the same location. Gravity into an oil plug on the rear block. This would save some line too.
