Default Oil feed line disconnect

Hey, I will likely get flamed for this question but here goes. I would like to disconnect the oil feed line to my turbo for like 2 min to fill two 16oz empty water bottles. I accidentally put a little too much oil in my car and am trying to take out about 1 qt without having to do it through my oil pan.

It would be easier and far less messy doing it this way. The car would only idle for the time needed to do this.

I would rather get it from the drain pan. Can you imagine oil shooting out at 20psi or more? It's not going to come out slow.

Hmmm may try that first to see what results I get per crank. I have done it the other way with the oil feed line hooked up but not connected to the turbo when I was installing the kit, but did not have the turbo on the car. Just to make sure everything was working and not leaking ect. It comes out quick but not like explosive quick itll take like a few sec to fill a 16oz bottle but its not like instantly.

You'd be much better off getting it from the return line, rather than the feed line.

return line would be a better route as said above. at least you wont starve the turbo and cook the bushings

I put more in than I should have. When changing my oil I put in 5qts and not 4. I was looking at the wrong thing for capacity and after I put in 5qts and was double checking something else I saw I over filled it. Basically just too pre occupied with multi tasking and made a simple mistake.
