i used the golden eagle adapter
have you guys seen any abnormal wear in the valvetrain when using the vtec port for a feed?

VTEC not engaged: below 7 psi
VYEC engaged: above 57 psi

Sorry to bring this post up from the dead but I'm currently trying to find the best feed for my turbo set up.
At the moment I have the common T piece coming out of the block (where the OEM oil pressure sensor is located) From that T piece it feeds the turbo and the oil pressure sensor.
I have 2x issues with my currently set up..
1) My oil pressure sensor is no located directly underneath my MASE log manifold and down pipe causing it to get extremely hot (occasionally causing electrical faults).
2) The oil has a fair way to travel upwards until it gets to the turbo, especially with the silly resistor that is in the T piece.
With these 2 issues and the added inconvenience of having to remove my waist-gate each time I want to change oil filters, I'm considering getting a filter relocation plate with a 1/8 npt port such as this one:
http://www.cvproducts.com/ProdDet.aspx?PN=CV746
Is anyone running one of these?
I started to read this threat and thought my issue could be solved by using the VTEC pressure sensor location but after reading a bit further down I'm not so keen! Has anyone carried out testing of the differences between VTEC enabled and non VTEC enabled oil pressure at that port?
If it is fit for purpose it seams like a much nicer option as I have also seen people report nightmares over relcoating thier filter locations and as mine isn't actually preventing the manifold from being installed I would like to keep it where it is for the moment.
What other solutions are there?
I also have my Oil return feed back through to my sump bolt location, is this pretty typical? Has anyone tapped one to the block a bit higher up, say on the timing chain cover?

Thanks guys
I solved this issue a while a go now..
I take oil from the oil pressure sensor location on the block via a straight piece, Oil is then routed to a T piece block located behind the wing in the engine bay via 1/8 braided line. From here I have attached the standard oil pressure sensor (and rewired it back in to the loom) and the oil feed for the turbo which is right next to the turbo.
2 reasons for doing this:
1) My original sensor got cremated under heat of the manifold.
2) This allows oil pressure to build up close to the turbo.
This set up has been working well for sometime now.
