I think that would work for sending oil to the turbo but you would still have to tap the pan for a drain.

Only way things would get intresting is if you have a stock oil cooler. But all you would need to do is delete it by buying 2 ft of 5/8th heater hose (3$ lol) and some new bolts if that thing doesnt come with them.

no we would just tap the "sandwich" another side or something.... what size center would it have to be? there is two different options and im not sure what they mean lol

No, you will not just tap the sandwich for an oil return unless you are attempting to make a total failure out of your turbo, fill your exhaust with engine oil and have the fire department respond to your first startup.

Lol so you're gonna tap the pressure side of the oil system for the return feed... I love the internet

Drill the pan

Common sense man, If you get the oil FEED from there, why would you place the RETURN line there also? You haven't seen any other turbo applications where the return AND feed are both located in the line have you?

Just drill the pan, use WD-40 to catch the loose metal, tap the return line there.

see that was easy. now. another internet dumb question i can still tap the pan when its on the car? as long as im up toward the top right?

Yes. I just drilled and tapped mine (althought it was really hard to get to the pan without being on an angle) while it was still on the car. I took off the drivers side wheel and had a huge long drill bit, and drilled into the side of the pan.
On the front drivers side, there is a nice flat angled bit of the pan: be smart, unlike I, and drill it there where you can get at it with a normal length drill bit!
Edit: I was told about two inches below the pan rail is always a good idea.

Afterwards I ran some cheap synthetic oil through the car for a short period and threw out, replaced with higher grade and a good filter. Just precaution incase any metal bits did get in there.

yea im gonna stick a magnet on the filter just for this time. and prob another one on the pan near where ill be drilling. and just leave it there....

so does anyone know what center adapter to use? m18,20,22 or 3/4?

just a suggestion when you drill the pan coat the drill in wheel bearing grease......it will catch all the shavings........also when you use the tap on the pan do the same a heavy layer of wheel bearing grease on the tap will catch 90% of the shavings...........then id get some cheap 5weight oil an dump a couple of quarts into the motor to rinse out any **** that fell in........

gotcha. cool. ill do that

Your doing a rearmount turbo setup right? If so then your gonna be using an external return oil pump. Since your not having to gravity feed oil into the pan like on a front mount setup you could just run the return to a valve cover at least temporarily.

this is what i did for my set-up.

now that i have the motor out building it i'm gonna weld a fitting on the pan for my return.

i was thinking about doing that... everyone said not to tho... so i think i will just tap the pan. its a simple 10 minut thing lol i hope

Unless your putting gas in the car, nothing is ever simple and 10 min....
