HF oil drain.
 
How much can I clock my turbo.
You all know of the bitch to run a oil drain with a hf mani is.
Plus my adapter plate is about an inch thick making it worse.

The more I clock the oil drain on the turbo towards the pan the better it makes my angle for the drain line.

How much can I clock it before my oil starts to backup ?

I know people say to have the oil drain aim straight down. But thats not gonna happen.

Yes, the hf mani to adaptor plate drain lines are a bitch 110% of the time. I believe 30 degrees either way is what I remember hearing. You may also have luck clocking it so the drain points forward instead of back. Take a look at it and see if that would work better. Some times it does, and some times it don't.

Mine seems to work pretty well. It's slightly clocked at an angle and the return line is damn near perfect. It's got a *slight* kink in it, but it seems to be working.
