Ok I used a 5/8 hose. Just got it local. Got a 3/8 npt fitting for the oil pan with hose barb on one end. Just ran the hose from the turbo to the drain with nothing else. Zip tied the hose to the trans lines so it would not touch the exhaust. I also had to pull the starter to drill and tap the oil pan. Also the turbo drain flange is at 4-5 o'clock position. I have drove the car for 10 miles with no smoke so I don't see a problem with that. If you need any more pics or anything let me know.

I don't understand why the drain has to be at 6 o'clock position. Is it for lubricating the bearing? I know I need to change the hose out. I just wanted to make sure it worked before I bought a Teflon braided hose.
