the p-trap on a sink is there to prevent backup of sewer gases by keeping a bit of standing water in the p trap which creates a seal to prevent the gas from coming in. i dont konw anything about turbos, but i woudl imagine one wouldn't want to have any resistance in the oil return line?

in theory it will work, do sinks have seals on the shafts that leak if it backs up?
come on WE ALL KNOW the best turbo drain is a straight shot.

I wouldn't want to do it, I was just wondering if there was some reason why it won't work. Like a scientific principle, lol.

As long as the turbo drain is the highest point in the system, I don't think there's any reason why it wouldn't work...unless the flow out of the turbo is too high for the size line being used. I also agree that you will have standing oil in the line and a straight line will flow better.

Oil is thick and does not move flow that great so it needs a nice straight downhill run to make sure it keeps moving.

i had an old setup like that. i wound up going between the block and the downpipe. the line was like 1/2 inch off the dp so i heat wrapped it. get a 90* and come right up out of the oil pan with it
