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.

clock that ish son

Re: Angled oil return?
 

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.

photo looks like you'd be in good shape

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.

pan fitting looks like its facing downward, ifso thats bad

personally I'd clock that ---- a little better then throw an elbow on the feed line.

you know, never noticed that, ill look and check that out tomorrow... Already cocked it right side up and put a hose "clamp" at the corner of the valve cover to hold the oil line down...

Re: Angled oil return? ***PICS added***
 

why not just clock the turbo?

loosen the bolts and spin, I can see how doing that would change anything as far as pipe fitment

Re: Angled oil return? ***PICS added***
 

+1, you don't need it to be perfectly up and down, just closer, i would say

Re: Angled oil return? ***PICS added***
 

thanks for the right suggestion though...

Re: Angled oil return? ***PICS added***
 

I think you'll be fine. I ran my turbo close to that angle and had no problems with it.
