ill grab a pic of the drains, we put a 90 on the driver side and a T fitting on the passenger side, the hose seemed to be getting pinched because of the strait hose barb that came with the turbos so we cut them and threaded them to 3/8ths much nicer now, no crushed spots in the drains

So you think this has cured the oil burning then? Good to hear if so. I couldn't imagine how you would have that oil in the exhaust with the scavenge pump PULLING oil out of the drains. I guess it does happen though in some cases, huh?

well the pump is rated to pull 5ft and push 12ft, but it needs a solid source to get good suction, and if the line is kinked feeding it it will have trouble, also on the other rear mount truck we built in a drop off for the oil to trickle into once you shut the car off, thats another key to it working well, the hose barb with the heavy angle on the hose does not seem to work, but was easy to work with at first and worth a try haha

Cool, thanks!
I was thinking of building a little flat-ish catch can/tank under my drain and try to pull from that. I think it's common, but I've never actually seen one in person. I think that's kind of what you're talking about for a place to let the oil gather after shutdown... If you're good without that tank now that you have the 90 degree fittings on there, maybe I'll say to hell with that plan of making the tank! Haha...

Drop that idle on down to about 800rpm Matt then get us a video
Do what I mentioned about the idle AFR and once you get your VE smoothed out and get it dialed in some more I'll show you some tricks I know to eliminate any spool time and make boost nearly instantaneous. If you're getting boost that quick with that AFR and timing, just wait till we put some screws to it down low...
