Oil Return Line at Oil Pan
Ever since I got the car back with the new motor and T76GTSH turbo setup, it's smoked very bad, even just at idle. I've already bypassed the turbo to make sure it wasn't the new engine. I'm going through correcting the shop's mistakes like installing a catch can and adding a an oil feed restrictor (I have a Mellings high volume oil pump so I have super-high oil pressure).
While under the car, I noticed that the oil return line taps the Canton Road Race pan about 3/4 of the way up from the bottom of the sump. I have a Turbowerx pump since the turbo is a little low, bit with the line entering the pan at that height, is it still going to just cause oil to backup into the turbo? I'm not sure if this is the right spot for the return.

I don't have it running again yet. I'm doing the fixes now and changing the plugs (which were all soaked in oil so far). I just don't want to button everything back up and reinstall all of the turbo piping only to find I need to tear it our again.
