i started to put my drain on today (T25 D16a6) and the brass end is less then a 1" from the crossmember, i was wondering if anyone else had the same problem with this. Also if did actually get it to work the return would almost have to be horizontal to get it to the top of the pan which then it would not drain enough

Dr.Boost

Well, depending on what manifold you are using determines where the drain is going to be located. What manifold are you using?

where in the pan is the drain fitting? i had no problem with clearance when putting mine in

Curtis2kul

no, thats whats wrong. when i mount everything on the engine the brass piece that comes off the flange(where you hook your drain line to) is only a inch or so away from hitting the crossmember. if i somehow got the hose on there it wouldnt work anyway because it would have to make a immediate 90degree turn which would make it not drain.

Do you get what im saying?

Dr.Boost

Did you clock the turbo? Any pics?

i clocked the turbo a little but it clocked to where the fitting is pointing towards the pan not away. i dont have any pics now but i could get some later. Do you know where i can get a 90deggre fitting?

o so your saying the fitting of the turbo is almost hitting the crossmember not the oil pan fitting, i dont know waht to tell you...what turbo manifold setup are you using, what side of the engine bay is the compressor on. maybe if you turbo the turbo around on the manifold it may fix it. without pics though its kinda hard to help ya

Sounds like you need to rotate the center section.

Curtis2kul

the compressor is on the right side if your from the front of the car facing the engine, just like almost all setups are done.
