Default sending in vortech for service

If I take off my vortech to send in for rebuild can I take off my oil feed to the charger turning it back to stock sending unit, plug in the stock ecu, and cap the oil return line? will that make it run until I get it back in ?? and what can I cap the return line with.. Please help me out guys Im really in a bind and need to have my car running, until this comes back in
I only go like 10 mi a day

Thanks

For the return line you will need to remove the brass fitting that is screwed into the oil pan, and cap the hole in the pan. They sell caps for that hole, but I don't know the actual name of it. If you have a cap from a wideband hole on a test pipe that should work. I think they are the same size. As for the feed line mine comes from a oil sandwich plate that came with plugs, so I can't help you there.

What I always did was take the oil infeed line and put it in the return line and clamp it on . This way it still has oil going through it but goes right back to the motor . You dont have to do much else . Undo the intake pipe after the intercooler and put a filter of some typ on it . Thats all that is needed . Keep you foot out of the gas and it will run fine
