ok got another question does the oil return line off the turbo have to be a straight shot or can it have a slight curve in it???? and the curve has to go up a slight bit?/

boostedcivicsir

as long as it travels continually downward, a curve is ok. just do your best to be as short as possible.

what would happen if oil got backed up in the oil return line?

boostedcivicsir

will push past your seals and make lotsa smoke, and fill up your intercooler with oil.

The turbo would smoke like a freight train and would end up going out.

There should be no 90 degree turns in the drain a 45 is ok and the inside of the return line should be no smaller then 13mm or 1/2 inch.

Good thing that's what they were talking about

As long as the oil line is going downward, you should be ok. Try to avoid flat spots and curving back upward because oil will pool in those areas.

yeah it can curve, mine does. just as people say make sure its always going down and doesnt have any flat spots or dips in it because its all gravity fed
