Default Turbo oil drain help

Heres the turbo clocked towards the block with a 45 degree fitting

here's the pic with the turbo not clocked

The 45degree fitting is real close to the oil pan and if i put another fitting on the oil pan i dont think there is room to put a hose on. Before i put the fitting on the oil pan do u think i should run a 90 degree fitting on the turbo drain flange? is the 90 degree fitting safe as far as the oil flow goes? Any other suggestions? Im using a lovefab sst manifold.
Thanks in advance

I ditched the fitting and just went with a big and thick rubber hose made for fuel. It will allow better movement so you can place the oil pan bung as high as possible.

Wow, why is your turbo sitting so low? A more zoomed out pic would help, not sure what to say.

dithc that manifold or fix your motor mounts because that turbo is sitting way too low.

doesn't look to me like you'll be able to drain it much.

motor mounts have nothing to do with the turbo.

Ditch the AN fittings and use some barbed fittings from home depot and some fuel line... Will give you more room.

I hate my AN fittings.. The line is so short and the damn thing leaks..

So do you guys think a 90 degree fitting will be fine for an oil return?
