i believe this is where the oil fitting has to be welded? am i right, if so is this angle ok?

 

the dip that the line creates is not good. you can get those 45* fittings.

 

you say not good, what will happen?

 

oil will tend to kinda puddle and won't flow back into the pan as well..and also I believe you might want it up a little higher on the pan itself..

 

45 degree fitting would make it

 

i dont see a diff. my oil line goes lower then that and no diff.

 

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.

 

yea, just get a 45 and put it on the turbo flange then shorten the line up a bit.

 

the 45 you guys are talking about is the one that stan sells for like 20$?

 

Yes, hit Stan up, he should be able to help you. He helped me.

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.
