Default Is my return line ok? (just want to see what you guys think)

Im gonna boost this thing higher than 1psi (unlike last weekend ) this upcoming weekend and just wanted your thoughts on the return line. I may try redoing it to put that 45 on the pan, but the 1st time i tried, it didn't fit.

I found that Johnson & Johnson adhesive bandage tape works extremely well for the ends of the SS line when placing them in their fittings.

1 first angle was dead on, but the 2nd picture was slanted so it looks like it's going uphill. It's actually not, but it is going fairly flat to the pan. Look at the angle of the SS line to get a good idea of what im talking about.

Someone also mentioned taking a hammer and pounding it up in the air. I might try that but im worried about breakin it.

Also, the fitting on the pan is about 1 inch to the right of the fitting on the turbo.

What do you guys think?


(return line, 1st ange)


(return line, 2nd angle)

Thanks

is that with the car on its wheels?
if so it looks fine
if not, it may angle slightly downward once lowered back down but it should be ok.

yup it's on it's wheels. Thanks for the response and all the help you've given me in your replies to my other posts! You're always the first to respond it seems like .

I thought it'd be ok but i just wanted some other opinions.

Got the feed/return lines from paul_vang. Easy installation and I got EVERYTHING for the install. It's actually the best priced lines i found too!
There's been no smoke, and no oil in the compressor housing whatsoever. Dry as a bone.

Just wanna make sure I dont screw this up tho when i hit some real boost
