Default Turbo oil drain in pan location?
I'm ready to have a -10 alum. fitting welded into the pan.
Based on all of you experiance with a C5-where would you consider the best location to be on this pan.

Can't tell you but don't let anyone talk you into a spot where the drain is below the oil surface in the pan. It must drain above the oil sump level.

Do you have anymore pictures of the timing cover location? I thought about this on mine, I guess it can be done.
