i pull my oil from the side of the head. if you use a sandwich plate i'm pretty sure you need a restrictor since the pressure there will be high. and unless you're running two turbos you only need one outlet, those two outlet plates are meant for oil coolers.

Turns out it's easier to machine an oil gallery from the end then put a cap in the end, than to cast an oil gallery in when the head is poured.

As posted above it should be 5.5 or 6mm. If your asking this question you should really reconsider boosting your car. Have fun with NA mods until you build mechanic skills. Just my honest opinion.
