Just curious if anyone knows the general length of feed line to go from the port above the oil filter, to a single turbo mounted in front of the motor...

I am wanting to have my parts ordered and here so I can put it together rather than measure and wait. Im not breaking new ground, so Im sure many many guys have the same length feed line for this set up...

I appreciate the help...

Hey thanks for the quick reply!

So I could probably just go 36" and be plenty safe...

that should be fine. where exactly is the turbo going to be?

As front and center, in front of the crank pulley/water pump area....

mine is set slightly over to the driver side of the crank pulley. you should be fine with 36" of hose.

How high up is it mounted? Do you run a gravity drain line or a pump and where do you drop in for the drain, front cover or pan? Any issues at all with the angle of the drain line?

I have been pondering drain line set-ups...

you know, it not up as high as i wanted it? it drains to the front of the pan on the driver side of the crank pulley. i dont know what happend when i was doing it, but it sits almost level. i run a 10an 90 out of the turbo but i only run a 1/2 inch line. i couldnt get a 5/8" rubber hose to stay where i needed it. i havent had any issues. i thought for sure the first time out i would destroy something, but i didnt. if i where to do it again i would mount the turbo higher and run the drain line to the front cover.
