I'm no turbo guy, nor know too much about them, but I thought usually they tap the block.

Yeah, they tap the head but i dont know exactly where i should tap for oil.
Can i use the oil pressure switch that is by my oil filter to get feeds for my turbo?

There are tapped holes that are plugged on the driver side of the block. You'll see little round plugs ontop of them that you can put an allen key into and unscrew them. I suggest using the lower row of them, and the closest to the car.
There are pics if you search for Oil Feed

I used the ones on the head near that location. Cant remeber the size thread tho. You will need oil restrictors on both ends also....well at least I did. Ecotecs have high oil pressure on cold start ups, and you dont want the pressure blowing through your turbo seals.

If I new the answer for where to put these on an ecotec I would tell you, but I don't. I am not rying to be an ass or anything but don't you think you should have figured this out BEFORE you go to install the turbo? Also by now you have been around long enough to know you could have found these answers by searching.

This was taken from ecotecforum.com, this is where Greddy is telling you to tap for their 2.2l cobalt kits. so this should work. Obviously the top circle is feed and the bottom is return.
Yes on the driver side of the head there are 4 allen screw circle thingys, they look like this:
(1) (2)
(3) (4)
Which one of those 4 should i use?

I pretty sure any of those 4 are oil passages, I think I used # 4. Which ever one is most convient to work with.
Here is where we run our turbo feed from:

cool looking manifold but did you use that same location for both oil for the turbo and the other hole for the return line ????
RIP JESSE GERARD.....Youll always be in my thoughts and prayers...

That's just the location to feed oil to the turbo. The return line that drains oil from the turbo connects to a fitting on the oil pan, or you can drill and tap a fitting into that dimple circled in red below

Yes, that one is ok too. We have a fitting on that one now that we use to check our oil pressure.
