Re: (SoHc10Lbs)
I'm not sure if it was b/c of my oil return, or my seals just were shot, but my turbo started to spit reallllly smalll amountsd of oil out of the inlet. BTW, my oil return looked like that.

2 45 degree fittings would be ideal...have a nice 45 degree downward slope into the pan...but 1 would suffice..

As long as the turbo drain flange is above the oil pan fitting(and the pan fitting is above oil level) there is no harm with a little dip like that. Oil will sit in the line at that spot, but it will not back up. My $.02

seriously, get two 45 degree fittings. You will eventually blow your turbo seals. Especially if your going down a hill, oil could back up in the line at that angle. Mine looked like yours during the install so I switched to a 45 degree fitting at each end and have never had a problem.

Re: (dunkd)
a 45 degree angled hose end would be your best solutions. I think you will be okay with -8AN line, but you erally relaly have to make sure that the line are in downward path since it flows less than a -10AN hose.
