exactly what height to tap for oil return

hey whats up guys im getting ready to put my motor all back together after having my motor forged by lawless engines. i have to do a few things though before doing that and one of them is tapping for and oil return line from the turbo. i searched and found alot of info but no one ever mention exactlty what height to tap it at on the oil pan. I want to keep it a pumpless system (less crap in the engine bay) so i need to tap above the oil level.

You mean the oil feed line??? You tap the part that is bolted on next to your oil filter. Usually a 1/8th NPT (national pipe thread). You can just rent a tap and die set from autozone if you don't have one or want to buy a kit.
