Default Oil Return Question???

How well do these bolt on oil return flanges compare to actually welding the fitting into your pan? Any one have experience with them?

That fitting is intended to go on your turbo drain not the oil pan, just to clear this up for you.

No, they have bolt on oil return flanges that bolt onto the pan...

I have never used one, but I have friends that have them and don't have problems with them...

Just make sure you seal that sucker! You don't want it leaking...

*edit*

I hadn't seen the picture... the flange in the picture looks to be the flange that bolts to the turbo, not the pan.

Can someone point me in the right direction to the one that bolts to the oil pan? I thought that was it, but i guess im wrong.

Nothing bolts to the pan, you drill a hole, thread in the fitting and then weld it in.

You can use the drain flanges that were designed for the oil outlet. It's still three holes and hopefully a gasket. Wether you put it on the turbo or the oil pan, it does the same thing.

Yah i would rather weld it myself too but i dont have access to a welder so i figured i could just bolt one in as long as i hear good reviews about them.
