Blew up 3 turbos in a week...Question?
If the oil return was to low in the oil pan, could the oil back up inside the turbo (not drain out), causing the turbos to blow seals? My return line was really short and the guy who welded the return on the oil pan put it on the very bottom of the oil pan.

thats a very expensive habbit you have there..
like they said...
get your pan or a new pan and the oil return line as high up on the deep end of the pan as you can and still be able to bolt it up and get the line connected..... also.. what size is your oil return? I think everyone here for the most part does a -10an line (pretty big).....

nice pan...
the oil return line is on the "high end" which will be fine.. the oil willflow in that left high side and flow down into the deep end.. if you notice the stock pans dont have much room for an oil return line of any real size... so most put it on the deep end as high up as possible...
that pan will work perfectly.... but damn they are a healthy chunk of change!!!
