Anyone can give detail info on how to install oil return. Need thread size, location suggestions also. I was hoping i could go in thru the pass side timing cover. What part,s i need to cut the hole, and what's needed the thread the hole. Even who sells a affordable kit!

I went in the end of the oil pan. Coated the drill bit and pipe thread cutter with vaseline. Cleaned them frequently and recoated with Vaseline. Once the hole was drilled, I made a small tool to slip in the hole and direct any cutting to the opening. Just a thin piece of flat metal bent to a L. Same deal after tapping. Make sure your turbo or supercharger drain is higher than the one you install. I used 3/8" pipe.

Please bear with me, but i have no knowledge of these size except for the 3/8. What is NPT? I know kinda what AN fittings are. So your saying drill a 3/8 pipe whole, then get a adapter that's 3/8 pipe (male) screw it into the cover, then it's a 10AN(male) on the other end, right??
