Whats the best tie in point? Should i put a T on top of the oil filter adapter for the gauge and to bleed off some oil for the turbos i plan on running?
Who has a good range of oil pumps for me to pick from to make sure i don't starve the engine trying to feed the turbos?
Thank you.

Try Precision Oil Pumps - they have several FE oil pumps to choose from.

Regarding where to pull oil for the turbos - install a "sandwich adapter" like you'd use to plumb an external oil cooler. You could feed the turbos and return the oil with another line to the pan.
Just a thought.

Doug at Precision Oil Pumps also makes a billet filter adapter with an additional 1/2" pipe threaded hole in the top, right beside the 1/4" pipe hole. I use them to plumb in accumulators, but it would be great for turbo oil, and you could return to the pan rail like a 391 FT did. There are threaded holes at #2 and #4 main in the pan rail. Just punch one through and you're in! I'd use #2 if if a front sump pan, and #4 for a rear sump. Plumbing that way would send the hot oil back to the pan. A sandwich adapter will send the hot turbo oil to the bearings when it comes back to the engine.
