Default Twin turbo oil return

I need some pics/ideas of how to return the oil from my twins. I really want to use the timing cover.

Hey Brian, That is the way I am doing with my truck pan right now but decided to run an f-body pan with my 408.

Mounted high on each side. Inlet goes through the radiator support. Downpipe clears the tires lock to lock.

Any reason not to plum to the timing cover? That seems the most logical to me, as you won't have to mess with the oil pan

As long as the flow path is clear and gravity fed to above the level of oil, go with it. Min 1/2" diameter line.
If the path isnt as smooth or clear as you'd like, go larger. Oil journal units will go through more oil flow than a ball bearing unit too.

I wasn't able to use my timing cover due to clearance issues. My driver side turbo goes to the side of the pan just before the drop off and the passenger turbo goes to the front of the pan, there is enough room to fit a -10 bung.
