Turbo drain question
ok so here is the deal i had a vortech kit and the oil drain was where it is pictured at. well come to find out its in the same spot as my turbo piping so i bouight a 90 degree fitting and know i have this problem, the line kind of takes a dip and that means the oil will fight gravity. let me know what you think

Re: Turbo drain question (TheYellowDart)
dont even run the car at all with it like that
clock the turbo so the drain is directly down,
you need to take off that fitting on the oil pan as well.
you want the drain to be as straight and short as possible with no kinks and all downhill
otherwise......bye bye turbo seals

Clock the turbo so the return fitting is more poitning straight down. Then repalce those fittings with 2 45* fittigns on both the pan and turbo and point them at eachother and voila.

It's kinda hard to tell where that dumptube is in relation to the tap in the oil pan from this picture. It looks like the tube dumps right onto the 90 degree adapter. Couldn't you just change the routing of the dumptube so you have more options on the oil drain?
