Turbo drain hose length ??
Turbo drain hose length ?? How long is too long for the drain hose?? Long story short i tapped the drivers side of the pan for my return and ended up switching the location of the turbo to the passenger side. I know somebodys gonna say to retap the pan or timing cover, but i really dont feel like doing it again. As long as it slopes down properly, do you guys see a problem??? Im using a -10 drain.... Thx guys

Looping around from the passenger side to the driver side will essentially cause a trap in the oil drain line, like you have under your sink. Oil will tend to pool there and have higher likelihood of backing up. Shorter, steeper and straighter is better. I really like the front cover if you have straight shot.

I was just wondering about hotside cause if its too thin it will burn through and could also rust out if not coated. Those pipes from the parts store are normally uncoated and wont last very long
