Ok since i have seen no actual ecotec boost build guides with pictures i think i will start one as described in adams(NJHK) sticky threads u will learn alot from there as well i will just post pictures with info on what i am doing as for my build here is the info
16g turbo, hahn turbo mani, non intercooled charge pipes for now( do have an intercooler but just waiting on piping) turboXS BOV, also have a hahn BOV, Hahn downpipe, braided oil feed line with tap block adapter, rubber oil drain, oil drain adapter, 16g gasket + flange, GLow shift gauges + a piller, (boost/vac, wideband afr, oil pressure) with 3 gauge wiring adapter, necessary vac lines and clamps, all running on stock 2.2 eco for now only 8psi for fuel just using lsj green tops(injectors) fmu possibility. For Tune i will be using HPT hopefully ben can make it up here so i dont have to do the local shop tune 250 bucks plus 85 bucks an hour.....@!#$ty

here is 2 spots you can tap the head for oil i will be tapping both 1 for oil feed and the other for oil pressure
now the size is M12 x 1.75 you can find a fitting on jegs, summit racing websites. I actually ordered the 1 from jegs it was like 18 bucks for the fitting it comes here and it doesnt fit my oil feed but does fit my oil pressure sender so worked out
here are some pics of the head on driver side just under ICM wires
here is the 2 taps
here is one 3/4 threaded out
here is 1 completely threaded out of the hole there is a lil oil drippage but as long as the car is off it shouldnt shoot or pour out
more to come....

now i have pics of oil feed line tapped and installed
and capped off for now till i do the build this weekend better to get some done now
Updated 7/6
heres is what i ended up doing i flip the oil feed to the center of the head and the oil pressure to the right side so it can fit. As you may notice the black oil cover under neath the oil feed has to be shaved down a bit not a whole lot just a bit for oil feed to fit. also depends on what size fitting you use. so here you have it

build pics i will get more soon on my other camera here are a few enjoi...
my old 4-2-1 header dont care i still miss it goin on my buddies J since he helped with build(i wish i can get paid n ....header)
these headers are not fun to take off or put on due to the straight up bend, Where the bolts go of course.
turbo mani installed with 2-1 header pipe still in.(welded) waited to cut off
turbo installed on turbo mani. didnt think it would fit due to the preview pics....but fits perfect.
as for the downpipe pics will be up soon. When installing same with header both hit the cross member cover underneath i would suggest trimming up a bit with a whiz wheel or something. This can depend on your setup if it rubs cut this but not too much
here ya go
really almost did the ECU relocation but it was the 4th of july needed to party a bit
G-Money helpin out
random
also not to offend anyone
This is what you get for working on your Eco all day in the sun with no shirt on the 4th of July .....still hurts

I wouldn't have tapped the pan where you did, should have done the dimple in the girdle. Where you have it, the oil in the pan is going to back flow into the oil return line. Keep an eye on everything to make sure your turbo is actually draining oil and not burning it.

x50. Tapping the oil pan on a Ecotec is sense less. They have the perfect spot to be tapped from the factory.

Yes i know completely sensless i was going to tap the one of the plugs on the girdle but the motor was in the car i will prolly do it soon this was jsut to get it running i will be picking up a new oil pan form the yard and tap the girdle pretty soon
