Does the oil feed for the turbo have to be directly on the top of the turbo?? I have mine on top but slightly turned towards the block(maybe 1 inch from directly on top)??
Will this cause anything??
turbo oil feed position?

Since the oil tap is so low on th epan he means not to over fill your oil. But i think that tap is fine, sure it could of been higher, but fine. Since the return line is using gravity to take the oil away u wouldlike it as high as possible so the oil in the pan is not covering the drain tap already.

^^ thats what i meant, if u block the oil return it builds pressure and will cause ur seals to blow
