Default Turbo oil line return concern..

My question is if the line is too leveled and would cause the oil to back up to the turbo? Or will this be ok?

with this kit (picture from spoolin performance) i would run a 45 off the turbo into a straight AN fitting to a 45 AN fitting into the oil pan that would make a smooth oil return transaction

Alex, get a drain flange with the 10an machined into it (atpturbo has them) then do a 45 off it and it will be good.

Get a turbo drain flange with a -10an built into it, like the one from Function7, and then run a 45 degree off of that..

Does anyone make a drain flange with a -10 AN at a 45* ? How cool would that be...

A 1/2" to -10 45 should help enough there.

ATP has a return flange that is 1/2" NPT female. Pick up a 1/2" NPT to -10AN Male 45 Degree and you'll be set.

Edit: looks like you have the same style flange, just get the 45 degree NPT>AN and you're golden.

I think you need longer bolts to mount your turbo to manifold....

thanks for the input everyone! I got it all squared today! Chris, when I went to buy all my ARP stuff I leaned on the long side for the turbine housing because I didn't want to drive 45 min for shorter ones :p Glad you recieved everything ok!!

1992si, I had the comp housing on the drill bench getting tapped for vacuum! :p

cut a flange out of aluminum/steel. use a piece of pipe and weld it on at a nice angle then weld an an fitting to that and use straight fittings on either side. on the h22 bottom mount manifolds ive made thats what ive done. it will give you a much better angle than any fitting combination can give you imho.
