Default Anyone have Z10 or Moroso oil pan for turbo setup?

I have a GSR motor and I think my turbo might be smoking a little anytime it spools it smokes. Just wondered who else is using it and a picture of thier return line to it thanks. Note my downpipe is facing my A/C compressor and my charge pipe faces toward the coolant reservoir. I also only use 4.5qts of oil in my setup not 5 to 5.5 so that it won't be upto the drain hole. I will update a picture of my setup later tonight. Please anyone out there help me thanks.

You can only run 4 quarts of oil with the aluminum moroso pan if you are using the return bung. I know a few people who have had your same problem with the pan.
With the new steal road racing pan you can use all 5 qts!

EDIT: It's good info if it's true...I emailed Moroso for an answer on that...let's see if they respond. The next time I do an oil change, I'll pull the oil drain fitting off, and see at what volume level oil will flow out of the return bung (just to prove it to myself...)

Now that I think about. I think this guy might be right. when I've had the oil drain fitting off. Some oil has come out, but not alot. The car was on stands so maybe if it had been on all four tires it would have leaked more... Hmmmm......

I ran 5.5qts in my alumium moroso oil pan and I never had any smoking issues....... ran the car all summer on old turbo without a problem, now with new setup, still no problem.

Thats bad dude, pull off the oil drian and I bet you at least half a qt will just pour out. 4.5 is the most you should run, trust me!
