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??

do it like this oill feed on top oil return on bottom (oil return is the blue tube in pic.) u put ur oil return on top u'll have problems.

No won't cause anything. I actually have mine slightly turned away from the engine on accident. Just makes it easier for the oil to go back when I am moving

isnt your return line tapped too low on the oil pan ? i though we needed to tap it as high as possible. Do you have more pics ? im about to do mine soon. Would be usefull

yeaaa that looks really low....thats not too safe for ur turbo.....make sure u never have enough oil in your car or ur turbos gonee

Don't you mean make sure that you have enough oil?

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

lol, I tapped mine in the same place, first off the BP oil pan is slanted slightly back, 2nd with a big line like that and the small amount that the turbo is feed with, it is not a problem.
