Default turbo lubrication (inlet and outlet questions)

hello everybody

i have a dumb question for ya'.

my turbo's middle (oil) section is upside down so the return flange is up.

so can i feed the turbo from the return and return fom the feed? or should i clock the turbo?


best regards moshik galimidi

do not even think about running it the way you said. the lines are different sizes and the return must be bigger than the feed, otherwise you will blow your seals in no time. just clock the turbo...its easy to do
