Default ? 90 deg turn on oil return?

I am thinking about doing two 90 deg oil return lines into the front of the timing cover for a twin setup. Question is, does anyone run a -10 90 on their return lines with out having any problems draining.

I'm sure a straight dump would be flow better but I just want to know if this would work also.

You mean a 90 right off the turbo? That's not ideal but it might be okay. You would still have a couple inches of straight drop before you got to the bend of the 90.

I have 2 90* elbows in my oil return, and it's not a problem. I have a -12 return though.

Not right off the turbos, I was thinking about 90s in my timing cover.

I have two factory turbo cars at home. Both have 1/2in drains and do hard 90's right into the pan or front cover with minimal drop from turbo.

I suspect you will have no issues.

I have a -10 90* going in to the side of my oil pan, no issues. just made sure to still have it pointed slightly up so oil wouldn't puddle in the fitting
