ANyone got anypics of the best place to tap into for the oil feed line? I plan on putting my setup on this weekend. Oh yeah anyone know exactly how close to the top og the oil pan i should put the oil return line so i dont run into the crank and ish?
TIA

Put a tee on the oil sending unit and use that spot.
Those tapped holes on the side of this pan are for oil return. This should give you some idea.
You don’t have to worry about the crank, it’s well up into the block. The only thing you have to worry about is getting the return line above the level of the oil in the pan. The oil coming from the turbo isn’t under pressure, it uses gravity to flow. If the oil return is below the oil level in the pan it won’t flow.
as for your drain line, mine is about an inch from the to of the pan…you dont have to worry about hitting the crank, since it doesnt hang down low enough… there is like a windage tray bolted unerthe crank anyways…you just wanna mke sure that theoil line is not anyplace where oil will be slng on it, whch would slow downthe oil thats draining from your turbo…mines about an inch down and 1-2 inches from the left side
Thanks guys, I appreciate it

Vortech’s install guide gives you a precise location on the stock oilpan for a return bung.
