Default help with my oil return line

dont know wht to do about my oil return. the lines i got from spoolinperformance wont work the turbo is to close to the pan. so i think i might have you use a 90 coming off the turbo and a 90 coming off the pan but even if i do that the downpipe will most likely be in the way. here are some pics. they are alot closer than they look in the picture.


any suggestions?

bolt up the downpipe and see how much room you have to work with...might have to get different angled fittings

the pan looks good
run a 1/2 npt 45 degree -10 off the turbo instead of the straight.
bolt the downpipe in before you make the line

Don't be an ***...he wasn't asking for opinions on his clamps. To the OP...anyway you can get a pic with the downpipe bolted up so we can see exactly what you have to work with??

I agree. Those clamps are the least of his worries if he is asking about setting up a drain. As stated an angled fitting off the turbo might help you out here.

I think you would have been better off with the hot side on the passenger side, but you're still looking good. Bolt the dp on and then get creative with the drain and you'll be fine.

yea i got it figured out i had to retap another hole because the downpipe was directly in front of it and there was no way i could get any fittings screwed in so i plugged it and retapped on farther over to the drivers side everything works good now thanks for the help everyone. btw those clamps have survived a 15psi boost spike on my 57 trim so they work good enough for me
