LT1 remote mount turbo questions I am going to build a remote mount turbo setup for my 94 Corvette. I plan on placing my 76mm turbo behind the rear differential... now I have a couple questions. I purchased 3/8" hard lines for the majority of the feed line, this will run down the driverside frame rail tucked under the rocker panels following the brake lines. I will attach braided stainless lines off the hard lines to the engine for the oil supply and then another braided line to the turbo using -6AN fittings. I plan on doing the same down the pass side for the oil drain all the way to dump in the filler neck located on the valve cover. Now my questions are do I need to run -10 AN fittings for the oil drain... If so what diameter hard line will I need? And where can I get the oil from the engine? I read I am supposed to get it right above the oil filter however I am baffled where to run my line. Does anyone have any pics of their set ups. Also who makes a good quality scavenge pump for the oil drain?

Just curious, are you planning on boosting a STOCK LT1? Or do you have some forged/dished blower pistons to reduce CR? (I hope so! forged rods/ARP rod bolts installed too) It would be a shame to spend all that $$ on a turbo setup only to have to rebuild the engine a few months later.
I'm somewhat curious how those Trick Flow Gen X 195 heads with the big combustion chambers to reduce CR would work with a stock boosted shortblock durability wise; personally I wouldn't risk since it's more cost effective to stay NA within the limits of the stock bottom end ~500hp...still inquiring minds want to know!

Does anyone have any pictures of where there oil supply line bolts up to the car, because I read it should be "on an LT1 you will run the feed from the ¼” NPT port above the oil filter".... Does anyone have pics of this
