The guy that's had my car for almost 2 1/2 years has FINALLY started to work on it again, but that's another story. The problem now is that we can't clock the turbo enough to make the oil return completely vertical, because the oil feed fitting on the other side hits the manifold when we turn it. I've got an ATP .035" oil restrictor, in addition to a low profile Goodridge 90° -4AN hose end. There's nothing else I can do. Please take a look at the attached pictures and let me know if this is good enough. The second picture is looking straight up. My only other option is to switch from -10AN to -12AN and open it up a bit, but a -12AN fitting might give me clearance problems on the turbo itself. What do you think?

Considering you can still see straight up into the passage, yes, that should be straight enough.

Its supposed to be within +/- 15* from vertical.
I'd run it.

*Edit. You could run a banjo fitting on the water line.

Mine was ran just like that. No problems al all.

Thanks guys, I appreciate it.

It's not the water line hose end that's the problem, it's the oil feed on top.

even if it isnt completely vertical there is no problem....
