Default Inspect my oil return line angle please

Here's a mockup of the angle of my turbo and oil return line coming from it. It comes out toward the front of the car at about a 45 degree angle.....






Will this be OK?

Thanks in advance

Nice wire loom
It looks fine. As long it is going down hill the whole way your good.

Yeah, the wire loom should hold pretty well

The oil return path is sloping dowhill the entire way

the fitting of the turbo needs to point down to the pan. its hard to tell since the pics are so BIG! Also what is that crap you got around the line? if thats plastic crap you use to wrap audio wire, take that crap off...its just going to melt

It's only a mockup of the actual line and fittings..... I'm using it as a reference on how I should put everything together

i dunno... might just be the pics, but it almost looks like you can turn both the fittings a little inward and have a straight shot from turbo to pan.. know what i mean?

or is that just the pics?

yeah...see how the fitting off the turbo kinda humps outs? Make it so the fittings point towards each other.

If I point the fittings towards each other, there is less than 2 inches between them

the way i have been told is get your turbo center section straight up and down and then slope all the way down to oil pan and put the oil fitting as high as u can on the oil pan and u should be fine just make sure u use all SS stuff.

less than 2? but can you make it work? if you can thats your best bet, you might have to cut some line, i looks like you can make it work.
