Default Return line: Pics needed
So I did a 45* -10 AN fitting due to the 90* running straight at the crank pulley. With that said, it looks as if the line comes close. If any can help, I would certainly appreciate any pics of how your return line is ran...to the oil pan with a front mount turbo (truck mani kit). I'm concerned with how the line runs down, then back up to cross the K-member to the pan. To me, this seems to be a restriction back to the pan.


Thanks all.

I would show you ours, but it is probably just as bad. I am trying to rethink the layout before we get it all back together.

Cool. If you come up with any ideas, will you share? I would appreciate it. I just think how the line runs down, then back up over the K-member to the pan is not a good idea.

Thanks.

We ran ours into the front of the pan, but I also have my turbos mounted decently high.

on my buddys TA we welded a bung in the front cover (eaiser to take off and cheaper to replace if you **** it up) and we use a 45* fitting off it. His turbo is located in the stock battery location. NO drain issues at all, works like a champ
