I have 3 B4 Passats, 2 wagons, one a sedan. One of my wagons has the oil feed line to the end of the cylinder head (so probably a 1Z) and wanted to change it to feeding off the oil cooler and move the low pressure oil senor from the cooler to end of cylinder head like on my AHU's.

Looks like a great upgrade! Can you also install this on a 1996 1Z/AHU so it supplies oil from the oil cooler area directly to the turbo, instead of from the cylinder head?

All I need is the machined part, since I have an ALH IP sprocket.

Let me know if you have another one, or info on it, thanks
