The oil feed also has to be drilled. It requires a drill bit extremely long, If you remove the oil feed plug and start the engine you will see no oil will come out. I use to do heaps of n/a conversions and seen alot of people seize turbos

Otherwise just get the feed from the oil pressure sensor

Can it really be that hard? get the taps you need and do it yourself.. i got single taps for $9 each at my local engineering shop. I drilled into the front of my block and tapped a hole for the twincam timing belt guide roller thing and didnt have a problem.
