Default Need turbo oiling help QUICK!!

I've got the pan off and want to go ahead and setup the oiling fitting for the PTK kit I'm going to order. Where do I place the oil return line? what size? and whats the part# for the little plate above the oil filter that is pre-tapped by GM for the corvettes? What size line for oil feed line??

thanks

Above the low oil sensor is where you would want to place the drain fitting. Not directly above the sensor, just needs to sit above the oil line.

Check with PTK on what fittings they give with the kit. Our kits come with a 3/8"npt fitting. That connects to a 5/8" ID hose that connects to the turbo

Oil feed line should be -3an or -4an. Again, check with ptk on what they include with there kits

I was reading through the Vortech supercharger installation instructions I found on their website to try to find where they tapped the pan. They tapped it on the driver's side of the front face of the pan. It's a very small area to deal with, but it seemed like a good idea to me since it's the smallest distance between the pan and the turbo for me... any input on that location?
