you need a slight down slope of the line into the pan.. while your sitting still it could cause it to smoke...
i would replace tha an fitting goin into the turbo with a straight piece. anything to get somewhat of a down slope..
dunno just my 2cents i kept that in mind when setting up mine up and it flows the oil nicely..
what size line is that?? i used 3/4 in size line
looks real good.

I have to admit, I am also a bit worried about the oil. However, we used the -10 line which will allow more oil volume before it begins backing up. Also, you have to realize that the mock up motor is tilted forward a bit. In the car, the motor tilts up, so the actual degree will be at more of a slant then what you are seeing. Also, with the angled fitting, it is likely that most of the oil will sit at the bottom of the fitting while allowing the rest to drain (instead of backing up in the motor). I don't know... keep your fingers crossed!
Reversing the line (so the straight is on the turbo, and the 90 is on the pan) looks to make the problem worse.
The level of the turbo drain fitting is still above the oil level in the pan, so it should still drain. With 5/8" hose (-10) it should still drain. Hopefully. Fingers crossed.
My only other idea is to try a 90 NPT to AN adapter in the turbo drain flange. That will make the oil make a right angle turn sooner, but should give a little more angle towards the pan.

Like your saying..... try a 90 out of the turbo its self and still use the 90 into the pan and see if that helps.......... Other then that looks awsome.....
List of what else is left to do before it goes in???????

I think QMP just used the existing drain plug. Thats what I'd use, it's much farther down on the pan, and already tapped. Just pull out the fitting when you want to drain the oil.
-*Edit- Saw that it was an oil return not an oil feed. Nevermind.

Turbo newbie question...is there any reason why the line can't be a hard line, like aluminum or steel fuel line? I can see using a hard line that will hold its shape and not want to bend up like the SS braided line in the pic. I'm tackling this tomorrow(driling and tapping the oil pan) and was thinking of making a hard line instead of the rubber one I have.
