That's probably the best way and cheap too.

neither are acceptable. way too close to the manifold. A 90* facing foreward as far to the passenger side as possible, without the line touching the comp cover, is the only way short of running hardline down the back of the center section.

Agreed. Both methods leave it way too close to the manifold, with one even touching it. That would cook the oil feed to the turbo, especially with the elevated EGTs during boost. I recommend a 90 degree fitting and running the line out from underneath the manifold.

Seperate the CHRA(center housing rotating assembly) from the turbine housing (6 13mm bolts) and then put in the 90deg. fitting in there.

i used a 45 degree fitting and didnt have to move anything. just shaped up 2 corners on the fitting and it cleared fine... good luck finding a 45degree #3jic fitting!!!!
i had the same problem with my HKS manifold and Garret T-25 turbo.
i traded stan a strait oil line for a 90 degree and it solved the problem.
i then bought some shielding from summit racing and coverd the feed line for added protection.
check my sig for updated pictures.
