I'm ordering the final parts for my Turbo Kit I am putting together. I am wondering if I am able to run my Drain Line from the Turbo into a Glowshift Sandwhich Adapter I bought, or am I forced to drill into the Oil Pan. The Glowshift Sandwhich Adapter has a 3 1/8th Fittings, and I know a Feed Line can be routed from it, but what about a Drain Line? And if not, what other options do I have besides cutting into the Oil Pan?

how are you gonna route the line to the sandwich plate if its on the opposite side of the block as the turbo? even if you do route it it probably wont drain properly. also i think there would be positive pressure at the plate and it wouldnt let oil back down

It won't work period! do it right and get a bung welded on your pan, it has to be a straight as possible shot no 90' bends etc.. otherwise the drain line will back up and push the seals out.

Its gotta go to the lowest point which is gonna be the oil pan...its gotta go there so the oil can go back through the oil pump and be distributed throught the motor properly again and again. I dont know of any other way around that one unless someone else gots it figured out hah.

i drain to the floor. Just refill at every light. j/k. No you can't drain back to a pressure source (sandwich adapter).
