Default Oil Pan Tap

Hey peeps, This will be my first turbo install and i was wondering how much an oil tap weld job would be or is it something i can do myself? I'm buying an oil return fitting as part of a kit from Fast-Turbo.com. Any suggestions?

the thing is. Can you weld? If you can, then its easy, if you cant, then let someone do it for you. Dont cheap out on a mistake that can cost you your motor.

Pay somebody if you don't have a welding rig. Should cost you any more than $25 or so if you take the predrilled pan and fitting fown to the shop. 15 minutes and you're on your way back home.

I took my oil oan and all the intercooler piping I cut to a garage and they did all of it for $35. You mark the hole and give them your oil pan and any garage will do it for like $5 since that's all the time it takes
