Depends on the angle. If that were an actual PHOTO and the angles, lengths were the same, I wouldnt try it. There's a long, level section which is not good. What about a tighter bend out of the turbo?

Yea if you have it angled like that it probably won't be the best...why not angle it towards the oil pan?

Get your ---- bolted up and then take a pic.From there we can recommend what fittings to use.

Mine's angled the other way.. like the turbo drain is roughly 15 to 20* angled toward the oil pan from vertical.

I've never had problems with my turbo puking its guts out (and it's an oldass 14b).

let me get a pics... wont have a straight/flat part, i could clock it less if i needed it to. I have it like that because the oil restrictor shoots the oil line straight up into the hood.

the biggest angle allowed is 30 degrees

Gravity pulls oil downward.




If it's angled it'll take longer, so clock the turbo and you'll be set dude.
