What degree angle is the drain line at? Its hard to see. I would think as long as it is above the oil pan and the drain is running at least a couple degrees downhill it wouldnt be a prob.... but then again thats my guess...

Too low for a gravity drain back to the pan. I would do a vented catch can and a scavenge pump.

You'll be fine, Asumming your center bearing housing at the same level as you balancer you will have engouhg room to make the angle to the pan for the drain. Put a 90* fitting right on the turbo and it will help alot.

mine sits as low if not a lil bit lower. drains fine but i hogged out one side of the drain flange and had a piece of 3/4 aluminum pipe welded into the flange at about a 15 degree angle . Doing this saved me about an inch of height and gave me a better drain angle than if i had used a threaded 90 degree fitting
