Looks good. that is a myth about the oil line being to low. My buddy has had his at the bottom for years and no problems.

The VW's come with the return at the bottom of the oil pan. No problems. it's gravity feed. as long as it's a steady slope I don't see a problem.

I hope you're right. I tapped mine at the halfway point and a bit worry about it. I hope everythings all gravy.

I am just think about it, the gravity keeps it down as long as there are no kinks.

With the height of your turbo, I think you will be good.
