Default oil return line flowing uphill

****......so i guess i blew both of my turbos by having the oil return line loop before it went back into the oil pan. Does anyone know if the turbos would still be good if i fixed the problem or did i blow the seals???....******* a, blown t25 and 14B just for not using my head.....

I can't post more than 5 times in a 24 hour period so hopefully this will work.

both turbos were gushing oil out the exhaust side......i guess thats the answer to that question.

thanks

you most likely blew the seals, you will probably need to get them rebuilt. was there alot of oil on the compressor and exhaust side? how about the charge pipes?
