For the ones building their own Front Mount setup... Well, found out today from my tuner that the turbo is not draining properly allowing oil to backup in the turbo cuasing oil to leak past the seal and into the downpipe. Just wanted to let the ones know that are in the process of building a lower front mount setup on a budget a scavenger pump is likely needed. Not too much $$ extra, but extra none the less.
The pump I chose is the 12VDC Version:TurboWerx Part # TWX-300-12V (About $450 to install and dial in). Having them install that along with a Turbonetics manual boost controller.
Oh well, I was planning on having it all tuned and dyno'd tomarrow, but I want to make sure it's all good.
To be continued!!

yeah have done same thing. just have to make sure turbo is up high enough. i didn't take into account there was rake to the car and if car facing downhill it will not drain fast enough
Where did you have your drain?

I'm running a scavenger pump on a TT system for a GTO.
I planned for this in advance to avoid the potential troubles. The turbo's drain would have a long way to drain with the way its' set up now.

I've been a bit worried on mine, if I will need one or not.... My turbo is a liiiiitle bit higher than yours, but not a whole lot.... Think I would have trouble too and should avoid the headache and just do a pump from day one? (Pics on Page 2 in build thread in Sig) Thanks...
Little off subject, but does the return line from the turbo have to run at a 30 degree angle all the way to oil pan/timing cover, or just right out of the turbo? My turbo will be high enought for no pump, but just ? routing line
