Default 90 degree fitting directly off the turbo

Any issue with this?

my turbo sits EXTREMELY low so this is the only way i can get the SLIGHTEST bit of downward flow on the return line

http://ts1.mm.bing.net/images/thumbn...dfd0857a4bbd88 This Directly off the turbo then the line will have a SLIGHT decline ...anything else hangs to low and will cause my return line to hang lower then the fitting on the pan.

DO NOT USE 90 DEGREE FITTING ON RETURN LINE AT ALL.. Use a series of 45 degrees to slope around to do it.

Heres the best picture i have it just shows how low my turbo sits


last year i was ran the center section straight up and down. with a 45 right off the flange and then another 45 AN fitting and there was literally 1-2mm of AN line in between the the oil pan AN fitting and the turbo AN fitting but it had a VERY slight upward angle on the line im talking not even 1/4 inch

This year i had to take the setup off to fix something so this time i clocked it a little bit thinking it would help get some leverage on the return line. so i then got a straight fitting off the flange to a 90 degree AN fitting fitting and it still hangs to low.

Thats why i was thinking of going with a 90 degree BARB style fitting because it should be smaller..even tho the center section is clocked i still cant use the 90 degree barb fitting?

Why wouldn't a 45 work there?

End point of the fitting hangs below the fitting on the pan...The fittings are pretty big

Maybe a barb fitting will be smaller. Im going to try a brass barb 45 tomorrow

That picture does not do justice on how low my turbo sits.
