This is a moroso OEM replacement pan, so it is the same dimensions as your OEM pans.

There are a few things to keep in mind when tapping your return line....

1. Make sure that the return hole is above the level of oil in the pan if possible.
2. Be sure to only flow downward, dont loop it back up because as i'm sure you've learned by now in life, liquids dont flow uphill....
3. Properly seal it because those bastards leak...even if they're the weldless "no leak" kind....

Generally the higher the better, but realisticly it only has to be above the oil level (while running). You also want to put it in between 2 cylinders so you minimize oil sloshing towards it.

and make sure you check for interference with the oil pan bolts, as well as obrstructions that may have force you to have your pan patched and re-welded. (yes one of the two happend to me)

All very good points. One question though, ive never tried it but i wonder if it works the same as draining a water bed. Once you get the fluid moving throughout the hose when draining it just keep coming no matter where you have the hose because of the momentum of the fluid. I'd be interested to see if these applys to oil drains for turbos.

Not really you dont have a ton of pressure behind it like you would with 50 gallons or whatever of water.

the new greddy kits put the oil return in place of the oil drain plug.
once an engine is running the oil pan is pretty much in vacuum, so there isn't any oil in it. wherever you put it it should be fine.
think about when you run your car for little bit, then turn it off and try to check the oil. there will either be none on the dipstick or very little b/c the oil is elsewhere in the engine and lines.
