Critique my return lines.... Last week I had some big time smoking issues. So I redid my return lines. Let me know what you guys think. I have only 1.25" height difference from the scavenge pump to where the braided line enters the timing cover. I hope this is enough down hill slope for drainage. All the return lines are the braided steel. Ignore all the other hoses.

It says this when I click on the pics:

i can see them. looks pretty good, 1.25" is a decent amount of slope but i see one bend right out of the turbo that might collect oil if your pump doesnt keep up. i personally hate relying on pumps for oil return but you look good to go. what did your lines look like before?

The return line coming off the passenger side turbo had a small kink in it and this is how the return line coming off the scavenge pump looked like. The guy I bought it from had a 90* "L" shaped fitting coming out of the timing cover which cause the oil to have to go "up hill" into the timgin cover. I think this might have been a issue. Also, the guy I bought it from ran a #36 nitrous jet in the feed line, I didnt use a jet at all. I think Im going to drill that nitrous jet out to .0625 and start from there.

it appears as though he was trying to make a trap to make the oil flow better, which works as long as you do it right though it doesnt seem like he did in this case.
