Re:Can you feed oil in the return?
Why would he want to do such a thing? You can do it but it will ---- the turbo, the oil has to go in the designated hole or it will not float the bearings or provide lubrication in the intended manner, wizz, bang, pop, new blower please.

you can't do it, i think the oil feed has paths inside the center section that go to specific places on the shaft (judging from the cover of my maximum boost) and the drain would just collect it.

Re:Can you feed oil in the return?
Well I linked him to this post, this was his question to you guys....
"i cant clock mine... it looks as if the turbine houseing and the center section are all one piece. the odd thing though is that there are bolts holding clampy things down against the 2 just like on the compressor side. however, if you loosed then, only 2 will come out, the other 4 hit the oil and water inlet and outlets...this makes me think well if you cant get them out phisicly, then howd they get them in unless its two diff pieces. however, once loosened, you can look behind the clampy things and all appears to be one smooth piece-the turbine houseing and center section. so i figured maybe its just got crud in there...so i keep em all loose and hit it will a mallet on the out edge a lil...doesnt budge...i try scraping in that area to see if i can find a dip where the 2 would come together..nothing... but what i dont get is if its all one piece, howd garrett get the bolts in? if anyone wants to look up any kind of pics/specs on it, its true name is a tb0363.
