^ why not?
I run mine like that,
just unbolt your oil pan bolt & tap that with a brass fitting from home depot,
connect your hose up,

all the jdm racers do that

This will not work for two reasons:

1. You won't be able to get a good angle off your turbo to the fitting.

2. The oil in your turbo will back up from the oil that is in the bottom of your oil pan.

Quit being a ----- and take off your oil pan. Take it to a machine shop to drill it and tap it. They will only charge you maybe $10 or $15 dollars. This little bit of preparation will save you blown turbo seals in the long run.

I know seriously. If you can't figure out how to make the oil return in the pan, you shouldn't be turboing a car.
