Is my twin turbo oil line routing to the scavenge pump okay? *Pictures* Car is a twin turbo APS kit. I read on here that the Turbowerx Exapump can pull oil and you don't really have to worry about mounting locations. The pump is currently level with the turbos, can you guys take a look at my line routing and give your opinions on if the pump will be able to effectively pull oil and pump back to pan?
-10 line to a T fitting, -10 line to pump and -10 line to pan. I know the -10 line to pan is overkill, but I had some extra laying around. (I ran out of black fittings and had to buy a few red/blue ones
)
Thank you for your help and advice!

It was included in the "drain kit" I purchased. I know the T fitting is not optimal and really wish it shipped with the Y fitting, but I'm at the point in my build where I'm pinching pennies and didn't want to shell out the money for the Y block. If it doesn't work, I made sure to leave some slack in the lines to run the Y block. I guess I'm just concerned with the hose going to the pump, I didn't want to run the oil lines under the transmission cross member, so I am left with that line pointed upwards a tad. Can this pump pull oil?
I have so much money into the turbo setup/car, if running the Y block is absolutely necessary, I will buy it. I read of people mounting this pump in the battery location and it working for them, so I didn't think a slight bend upwards would be a deal breaker. Little things like this haunt me, though!
