Default Turbo oil return?

I am running my oil return at the front on a modified truck oil pan, with two -10 fittings on either side of the crank pulley. The return is gravity fed with no slumps in the line. I shouldn't have a problem with oil return should I? I will have the pan off soon so I can slide my 408 in and will be able to raise the position of the return if it is not favorable. Also will be adding more volume to the pan.

As long as they are open and free, gravity fed into a level above the oil in the pan, you should be fine.

Are the turbos low mounted or high ?
