Will this drain work?
This is the best i could do with this manifold. That is with the turbo actually clocked somewhat to allow the drain to actually sit higher. Manifold is made for the motor. And my drain plug on my motor isnt that high (or at least to me it isnt).

I ran my old Precision T67 like that and I didnt have an issue, but it eventually bothered me enought to fix it, what fitting are you using on the turbo?
Do I see a low spot or is it the angle of the camera?

I would ditch the heater hose and get some hose that is rated for oil the heater hose is going to get soft and deteriorate and will start leaking after a while

upgrading the hose is no problem. I have steel braided laying around here somewhere. It doesnt have any dips in it, its just parallel for a long period of time. Turbo oil drains call for no less then a 35* angle. This is just a straight 90 off the turbo and then its pretty much flat until it gets to the pan. You have no idea how much this worries me but the manifold i have sits the turbo so damn low. Just another reason for me to buy a top mount.
I dont like hondabond but a friend of mine swore by it and i got tired of hearing him say it. I always run a gasket with a VERY thin layer of RTV on both sides of the gasket. Thats how we did it on the race cars where i used to work so i just carry it over to my pieces of ****. Theres really not alot of it there. It just all pushed out when the pan was tightened and i didnt feel like taking a blade to it.

Let me know if that doesn't make sense. I might be able to make a diagram or something that would help describe what I'm thinking.
