Oil return issue....
Ok on my last turbo set up i tapped the oil pan with a barbed fitting to match that size of the fitting off my old turbo, also i had a ram horn so i was able to run the return with out a problem. this is a really tight squeeze and this is the best i could do with what i had at the moment.
will this work or is it too much of an angle?
not looking to get flamed for the looks, im not worried about that, i know it will not leak and thats all i care about. Thanks.

i hope you have set of extra seals for that turbo, that kink in the return line will cause too much negative pressure in the turbo.

just cut about 1inch out of the line and it will work but if you have to you can cut more out of it. i had to do it with my old turbo set-up. just make sure it is going down so it can drain back.

Yes, you should definately clock that. My old oil return line looked a lot better then that and was a lot higher, but still dipped a bit. It was fine on normal drives, but when I got on the freeway. Man, it was like a morning fog on a sunny afternoon day.

QFT again.

what lines do you suggest? i ran this same type hose on my last set up without problems.

I can only recommend steel-braided line, but any high-temp thick rubber lines would work for it. But I've never been a fan of just using a rubber line as it wouldn't protect the line much if you were to hit something, or have something fly up there.
I personally would worry to much about it, then again oil is crucial to your motors life.
