Maybe Shodan can preach the mini-ram

Minirams are good BUT they hang the turbo so damn low that the oil return route can turn into a NIGHTMARE.

for oil return on mine i chose to weld a 5/8 tube into the pan and used 5/8 line from the turbo to the pan it goes straight down for a few inches and then a nice slight slope back into the pan, i thought it worked out mint.

Use the one that Spoolin' and Go-Autowerks make from their perspective manifolds. Its always best to buy the same downpipe from the same company as the manifold unless you plan to fabricate yourself. you save a lot of money and headache down the road later.. trying to get "cute" and "innovative" for simple items just gets more expensive for you than it is to just get it, fit it, and forget it..

They both sell Ford-style 5 bolt downpipes and dumptubes to either vent or recirculate.


As for the mini-ram argument, it is a nice option for larger than 500whp turbos that don't want all the heat in the engine bay from a kooks-"ramhorn". But Rich777 is correct, that those manifolds sit VERY low, and that configuration of the oil return line into the oil pan must be given the utmost attention to detail. for the OP's needs. The tubular log will work just fine.

Requires even MORE work to get the downpipe correct on that thing, especially if you don't talk to Turbo-LS for his adapter flange.. Not really worth it, IMHO.

Thanks Shodan you've helped a lot,
As of now I'm just trying to find a set already together with dp and dump seeing it'll save a couple hundred bucks if I can't I'll just order the spoolin Mani Friday and maybe try to find a used downpipe later

Again. I don't recommend that. A "used" downpipe may NOT fit with the manifold without serious adjustment. Just be patient, wait, and get all three items from one source.

DELshaneSOL

Alright I'll see if I can find someone that had all three for sale of I don't find anything by Friday I'll just buy new
