Oil Return line question
My return line does kind of an "s" shaped bend but the curves are not sharp enough to kink/collapse it in any way. Will this be OK to run? Thanks

Basically like the pic below but, my line isn't kinked. I kow that straight is the best path but, will a small curve affect anything?
This is not my setup but, my line has the same curve(w/o the kink)

Re: Oil Return line question (tgreaves)
thats what my fitting looks like 
I don't know how to properly put them on either...
I think it makes more sense to put the curved fitting (on the turbo in the above pic) onto the oil pan, that way your line comes strait down... and shorten the length of the hose, that should get rid of the S curves...

I was actually joking.. That was a return line I was helping a friend of mine put on and I put the one side of it on.. It does need a 45 to make it correct..

Agreed.. A 90 or a 45 would be the best here to fix this..
Why is it everything else on a turbo setup is pretty easy but making a damn line for the turbo to drain oil is such a pain in the ***????

Once again, the line in the pic is NOT mine! Thanks for the replies though guys. I'll just run it how it is. Mine is not kinked but it does have a slight bend. Thanks for the quick answers
