I know the factory oil return line is huge, I can't find a fitting to attach the oil line to the block. So i was wondering if a 3/8id Hydralick hose will be good enough.

thanks joe

I have seen a few go into the oil pan. Looks clean and gives more room to work.

Yea. Make it go into the pan. Getting the right bend to the block-fitting is hit-or-miss. And usually yields smoking turbo. I hate it. :mad:

well i decided a few days ago to go to the oil pan with 1/2 inch hydraulic hose.
I machined a bung to weld to the pan and made a flange for the turbo

thanks guys

kerry did you notice anything with your gutted upper intake, just curious cause I just finished gutting mine and porting the exhaust manifold
