If you have to drill for ANY oil lines for ANY turbo kit then you're doing it WRONG.

Who said there was no feed/return line?
You don't drill. Anyone that tells you that you do is on crack.

This is also basic "How to install a turbo kit".
Click the link in my sig and tell me what part of the install is a drill used?

Many many many turbos have an oil return line to the sump.

Actually, the sump is the only thing that does get drilled. I was stuck on the feed lines. Apologizes all.

I put a kit on mine at 145K. But it's hardly that simple.
