Default Oil Feed and Return lines setup on turbo...is this ok?? help needed. (pics inside)

ok, this is how my oil feed and return lines are setup. i need to know if this is ok. as you can see in the pics my oil feed line is slightly on the bottem side and my oil return line is slightly on the top side. i would like to keep it as is because i finally got the lines and everything to fit good. but if this needs changed then i will do so. stupid mistake by me. tell me what you think. suggetions are welcome.

you're kidding right? return is gravity fed, i do not think that will work unless you are turning your car into a smoke machine. no offense but yeah thats not going to work.
id like to see some more pics though, looks like apretty clean setup other than the lines.

DO NOT run it like that! You have to clock (rotate) the center housing so the return line will be on the bottom. The only thing that will drain your oil is gravity, and the way you ahve it right now will surely blow your seals.

Loosen the bolts on the compressor and turbine housing to roate the center section.

oh my! that's unreal considering how many pictures and threads there are about this. At least you checked first

might want to have the WG tube fixed too. it should point down ideally or at least straight out.

Hahahahahhahahahahah, I almost pissed my pants when i saw those pics. Hahahhahahaha. Building a turbo car is not like running N/A. You actually have to know the theory and design to do it sucessfully. Please do yourself a favor. Have someeone with experience help you with your setup/tuning.
