Default Question about oiling

I was wondering since I'm using a TurboWERX oil scavenging pump for my turbo setup, can I have the oil lines horizontal instead of vertical? Usually the drain is on the bottom but the way I'm running it I'd like to have it on the left side.

Anyone know if that'll cause oil to back up? I'd assume it would be OK since I'm using a pump.

Check the specs on the TurboWerx website. With practically all of the gear driven electric oil scavenge pumps you should be able to scavenge up to 2 ft vertical...
