Default Turbocharger oil feed/return & it's fittings

I thought I'd start this new "StickY" with some informational videos and photos of oil feed/return lines and their components/accessories for those that need supplemental equipment on their turbochargers. This will be a growing document, so if some questions related to these parts should be posted here.

The first is Greg from Go-Autoworks who talks about Garrett Ball-Bearing, Turbonetics Ball-Bearing and Precision turbocharger oil feed inlets and their parts.

I'm bumping this to continue the discussion. I may be able piggyback on Greg's comments regarding other turbo models later in the coming weeks.

Can't forget to add that there will be differences based on turbo position; topmount, miniram, full ram, tubular, etc..

That's where you'll come in. I"m sticking with the general portions.

You wanted the big chair for creating some technical articles regarding fitment of different types of manifolds and the nuances to their oil return lines...... Now's your chance... Let's see what you got.

God willing, I will be under my car today, so I will snap some pictures of my return line and get a bit of a roll going on this ball today. I will use my old line setup; that was using an Ebay full ram, and compare it with the GAW miniram, as well as point out what your return line should NOT look like (still mine lol) on ANY setup.

The idea for pictures showing the oil returns? I can snap one of my mini ram, gt2871 to my moroso pan.

That's good! That will provide a view from an aftermarket oil pan perspective.

I try to keep it straight to the point and as short as possible...it leaves less room for internet interpretation...like an oil drain
(anti loquacious by nature)
