My brother decided to quit while he was ahead, parted his car, and bought a 2g. I grabbed his motor.
So, all I am doing is applying a feature common on other turbocharded cars.
I drilled the hold in a non-structeral location on the side of the block, I didnt drill through any major "webbing" in the casting.

350 is not Serious HP, esp. today.
and the oil leaking could likely be fixed by sealing the individual leaks, or building the motor properly. Whenever i had a problem with the oil leaking out the vc, its always been either the valve cover is cracked, or the gasket is shot. Get a new rubber gasket and call it a day.
