right above the plug on the back.


































depends on where you turbo sits just go straight from there and then as high up as possible on the pan, use extra jb weld ;)

My JB welded pan is holding strong with no leaks for over 2 years.

your not smart enough to use jb weld you shouldnt be here, i like to thread or tap it and then use jb weld as a sealer, done it on prolly 5-6 cars and never had a problem

its easier, cheaper, and faster to just mig weld it in there. And you can use it in 10 mins if u want.

You're right, providing you have a mig welder. One of the better investments i ever made!
