Default Oil return line

Hey anyone know if you can run the oil return line from a turbo back into the valve cover? lets say back into the hole where the line is that runs from the intake into the valve cover?

Thanks

No. Unless your turbo sits about 3 inches above your valve cover, and I don't see that happening.

Gravity is the only thing that drains the oil from the turbo. So if you had the line going above the turbo, gravity is not going to allow the oil to travel upwards.

is there any place you can run a return line to without drilling into the oil pan?

Not that it would apply here, but just offering up some additional info.

For the AmsOil by-pass oil filter system, you tap into the oil sending unit, with a T connector, run a line into the by-pass filter, and then you run a line from the filter to the Oil Fill Cap. Drill a hole in there, for return oil.
