yeah, turbo is kind of sitting low. the oil might just be backing up. what manifold are you using?

Holy low exhaust batman!!

Good luck driving that on the road. Your in Colorado right? I can't imagine the roads there being all that good with mountians and ice to freeze/crack/pothole the road.

man, your gonna bash the **** out of your exhaust on the first day.

Maybe raise your car up some!!

Goood luck on the leaky turbo, hope you pinpoint the problem.

is that a 90 degree from home depot in the plumbing section??? if it is, take it off. the hole is way too small. i had the same thing on before the install was done and fired it up to see how it was doing. well it sucked. so it took a month to find the right parts and fabricate a new oil return. what i suggest you do if u still wanna use that same fitting is to take it off, and drill it out some more. if its the same 1 i have, there is extra metal that can easily be taken off. keep us informed

like i said, if u have no other choice then to use the fitting you using now, take it off and drill it out a bit. there is excess metal in there that can be taken out and will make it a bit more free flowing.i had the same fitting.
