turbo drain? Updated pics. Seems like the 90* fitting will end up working better.. Than the 45* and 60* fitting.
hoping i can get some advice on the angle on the drain hose. ive cut the hose to get as close to 6'oclock position. if i locate it at 6' oclock there is to much of a drop to where it goes slightly up over the sway bar then by the p/s lines to the drain bung. clocking the drain towards the engine it wont work with the 90*. what do you guys think? will this work? thanks in advance
Updated pics with 90*.

You could try getting a 60 degree an fitting and clock the center housing so the bottom is a little more toward the motor to see if it creates a better slope for the oil to drain back. I've read you can do a max up to 15* either way from perpendicular to the ground for the oil drain. Maybe a little more if it makes the drain slope better.

Got the 45* fitting on, clocked towards the engine more and routed hose different through rack and pinion hard lines to drain. It's better than with the 90* but not sure if the turbo is clocked past 15*? Just ordered a 60* fitting see if helps anymore. What you guys think? Thanks for the help.
I will email jon at huron speed now and see what he thinks.

It's sloping better. The guy a post or two up mentioned a t4 spacer. That would lift the turbo up just a little bit more and you could probably clock it back a little to make it better. It may be alright as it is but the general consensus is that 15*.

Got a response from jon at huron he said they've haven't had to use scavenge pumps with their kits and have been using the 90* fittings on both ends. I'll check out again later on today. I did check the angle where it sits now it's well past the 15* mark that turbonetics states on he instructions. Moving it any closer to straight down the hose goes slightly up.

Your pictures are exactly how mine is set up (Huron kit)and if I brake hard to a stop the oil backs up in the drain line and I get a nice plume of white smoke out the exhaust..... I really need to get that fixed!
So yeah, you'll need to change something lol.
