that'll work fine

It looks fine from here but you really need to consider where the turbo places the drain tubes. You want gravity to work with the draining effect. Try to place the drain so that the drain tubes go as vertical as possible. You could move the hole over to the left so more and it would be OK.

It's nice that these motors have a baffle on the block as opposed to the pan like on D-series.

 

Yeah that D-series baffle is a pain to deal with. I ended up going underneath it with my tap.

As long as you don't have a flat run of more than a few cm's you wil be OK.

here is the inside of the pan


the turbo isn't going on till saturday and i'm having this welded so it's ready for saturday, so i really can't do a test fitment

 

thats where i have mine tapped.

 

Here you go, from my Install

 

my tube is straight and not angled like that

it's from the revhard kit

so it just sticks straight out
