Default Turbo drain oiling??

Since my turbo is going to be mounted in the rear and I'm using a scavenge pump is it OK to put a 10an 90* fitting on the drain ? Or is it a big no no? My truck is slammed so I do t want to run into any issues where a hose is too low or kinked by have a straight fitting. Ect.
Also I'm thinking of ordering this check valve for the return side.

I'm running a turbowerx pump directly 6-8 inches behind the turbo off of a -10an 90' and not having any problem keeping up with the oil flow. Before I had it over the axle and away from the turbo about 3 ft I had more oil in the pipes, but now the pipe oiling is at a minimum after it runs for a while and blows it all out. Wish I could have found that fitting, I got a brass one from McMaster-carr. If you don't already have a scavenging pump, I've got a brass gear one that works perfect for $100 shipped. I switched to a turbowerx because it was quieter.

I am running 90s on our twin turbo car with no problem. Just make sure the scavenge pump is running properly or you will get a smoke show from the exhaust.
