Lingenfelter oil feed/return? The lingenfelter oil cooler adapter kit has a port for engine oil return on it. Does anyone know if this could be used for an oil return from a turbo? Tried searching but didn't really come up with much. I kinda figure no since nobody seems to have used it but thought I'd ask anyway.

Just tap the block off plate thats already there, then use the oil pan for a return. Unless your turbo is super high up, you would need a pump to use that as a return.

Tpunk, that "oil in" port is from the oil cooler to the engine bearings. Not a place to send frothy aerated low pressure oil from turbo, it would kill your engine in short order. Unfortunately you are going to have to tap the pan.

After seeing the price tag on the Lingenfelter unit I ended up making my own. Tryed taping the original block off plate first but I cracked it.
The only tools I used was a die grinder, drill and a tap. Although it's been on the car for 1000 miles or so I havent gotten around to turbo'ing it yet. but it dosent leak

But I wasent happy with how far the fitting was threading down into the plate. Of course when you say "I'll just give it a little more" 99.9% of the time things like to crack.
