Default Where to pull oil from for turbo feed on M44 powered Z3?

I have a ton of experience in turbocharging Mercedes of every cylinder count(except 12 unfortunately) but I have never once turbocharged a BMW. The first little bimmer to enter my group of friends was a little Z3. Blew the headgasket in a couple weeks, kept hamming it around and washed out the rings so now it sits with stock bore EVOIII-IX 4g63 stroker pistons, off-brand m44 h-beams, and arp studs. As a reference my Mercedes E320 has Wiseco Olds Quad 4 pistons, Eagle Honda H22 rods, and M50 headstuds by arp so it's not my first frankenstein setup.


Finally got around the turbo part and I'm just wondering where to pull oil from. On a Mercedes there is a 12x1.5mm plug in the oil filter housing, on the BMW it looked like I would have to tee off the oil pressure sending unit as I couldn't find a plug. If it is the sending unit that has to be tee'd what adapters do people usually use and what is the thread pitch?

1st post... Wow.

Welcome aboard and I hope your setup works out well, the oil can be tee'd off the sending unit.
