Place manifold on the car, put turbo onto manifold, mock up line and make marks, get it as high as possible. And don't tap it so you can't put a bolt or a nut into the oil pan

put the downpipe on also, cuz my first attempt at a return line wrapped around the DP so it drained into the deep part of the pan, til i realized i could run it STRAIGHT down from the turbo. it drains in the shallow portion, but i've had no problems so far

i was told to tap high like as high as you can.

i dont see what the issue would be going that low but i just did what i was told though rather then finding out what the posible issue might be

The first response by RCautoworks is all you need to know. Still trying to guess or go off of other peoples' pictures is asking for trouble. Don't rush it, and do it right.

Holy back from the dead batman. You don't need anything else. Here's how the kit taps into the pan.
