Well, Im just about to get my car back from the shop after about 5 weeks not having it. Ive been so depressed by not being able to drive my car that Ive almost given up on boosting my car. So I need some inspiration to continue the project. Post your settups, plans, questions and anything else dealing with the 5sfTe here. Please do not post "Get a 3sgte" comments in this thread. Thank you.

n e one have a diagram of how to run the oil lines?

the oil lines are pretty easy man, the feed you get from the head, the return goes to the oil pan..
you can T into the head with a 1/8-28BSPT T fitting, right at the oil pressure sending unit, the only thing with that is that with a brass T and the heavy sending unit hanging off it, there is a chance of the T cracking on you.
what i chose to do to avoid that, is to use a 1/8-28 BSPT to -4AN fitting for the head, then a 4an to 3an reducer to get to the 3an line size that im gonna use.
since you cant get 3AN hose ends, im having a custom 3an feed line made up by www.atpturbo.com then having a 3an fitting welded to the stock ct oil feed line, and tapping into my oil filter relocation kit for the factory oil pressure sending unit, and adding another for my oil pressure gauge.
for the return, im having a -12AN fitting welded onto the factory line, and using a 3s oil pan with the fitting from www.koracing.net that screws right into where the factory bung is for the factory rubber hose, but with stainless braided.
feel free to hit me up on AIM if you have any questions man, happy to help
