Default oil pan fittings

Hey guys my 02 ws6 is getting the oil pan changed bc there's a crack in the front corner.. I was wondering if anybody can tell me what fittings you guys weld in the pan for oil return.. I plan on turbo charging next winter but since I have a new pan just getting fitting installed now instead of later. I would like to know were you guys place them I am up in the air on who's system I will run so I thought maybe doing one on both sides. If Huron speed makes his new setup to run bigger turbo with a/c that what I want. If anyone has part numbers to the fitting let me know thanks ..

Depends on the turbo you run. Your drain fitting ID shouldn't be smaller than the turbo drain ID. Many go with smaller and get away with it, but it's not ideal.

I used 3/4 pipe fittings, cheap and easy.

I also dont see the need to weld it in? Just drill and tap the pan. Then you could always go back and plug it flush.

Dual -10 A/N fittings here. I welded mine in because I had the option and it was free. It defiantly is not necessary though. Passenger side of my pan got the fitting in the same place as Forcefed86's. Due to obstructions the driver side was mounted further back and high on the pan dumping more into the sump section. However this is not the best way to do it as you don't want to slow the return flow by dumping into the bulk of the oil storage. (oil pushing back into the drain) IMO the best location for both or one is in the picture posted above.
