I have a port above the oil cooler lines and was wondering if I could use this port as the oil supply for my turbo? Basically does the port provide oil at pressure?

Yes, that's the one Banks says to use. You can pull up their installation manual on their website that shows a picture. BUT good luck getting out that port plug. It's a 1/4" square opening and tightly installed. I couldn't make mine budge without stripping the opening so I'm opting for a "T" fitting into the oil pressure sender.

Thank you. I have the banks manual, guess I need to look at it.

Mine is on a freshly rebuilt block that is not yet installed. There is no plug there currently. I did try and pull the same plug on one of the blocks I took out and the square does not match up with a 3/8" ratchet extension, but the extension was too big.
