hello all. im in the process of tubocharging my 01 cavalier. i want to avoid tapping the oil feed line from the oil pressure sensor at the back of the engine. does anyone know if there is an oil gally plug at the front of the engine to tap into. i really dont want a 7 foot oil feed line wrapped around my engine bay.

Why avoid it? "T" it and be done with it... No need for a 7ft oil line as you are stating....

I would just suggest the 1/4" plug above the oil filter. No need for a T. Line is like 4ft MAX.

thanks guys. i was exagerating a bit with the 7 foot line. i take it theres no other way but the oil filter plug or the oil pressure switch. i was hoping there was a plug at the front of the engine. i guess i cant avoid it
Take a look at my feed-line T.
I have a pic in my car profile.
the only plug I can remember in the front of the block is water. You need to tap into the back since it feeds the cam, lifters and pushrods.
I tried to attach a pdf of the fitting I purchased for the job.

You could do what I did and buy a oil filter sandwich adapter.
