Default Low hanging turbo. What you guys doing for oil returns.

I was wondering how some of the guys that are doing lower hanging turbo manifolds are routing the oil return lines. I may be making something similar and Iam not really sure about the return line. Any info helps.

Something like this.

This would be for a customers car. Us shop owners are too poor to build our own cars. LOL

i been having issues if i put a bit more oil that the car starts smoking since i have the h2b setup and u dont see to many boosted ones out there. The oil pan on mine is on an angle meaning the oil return gets blocked off.

Like i said its no big issue unless i come to a hard stop or on a downhill ,


Since the motor is out would i be able to drill and tap the block for a fitting?

Pics when you do, I also thought of this but can't due to the turbo being too low....

thats wild that it doesnt smoke a setup on a friends car that we did smoked like a bastard and it was on more of an angle than this one above could it be because the turbo was so much smaller?? after changing the angle on the return the smoking completely stoped
