yes, dumbass it is. the oil return line CAN NOT drop below the level of the fitting in the oil pan. people need to do reaseach before they just go bolting stuff to their cars

think. there is pressure in oil lines, so if return line drop below the level of the fitting in the oil pan for obout 1inch it doesn't make such a big deal.

I was talking about the oil leak, and as you can see it is minimal, so it is not important! And I have seen 20 cars with such oil line setup and they are still running with no problems!!

He said dipping, not dripping. Although I see the small streak where it might've been leaking a tiny bit.

It's just not a good idea to do whatsoever.

There is no pressure in a return line. The oil at that point is the consistency of black whipped cream. Either you evacuate it from the CHRA as quickly as possible, or it burns itself into carbon on your turbo innards, clogging the passage of oil, and destroying your turbo.

Well none is born a professional, so you have to start with something, and of course it may not be perfect!

Yes, screwy. Some of us start with reading instead of arguing, but it's your learning curve... do what you want.

I din't ment that there is pressure in a return line, but anyway thanks for reminding. so whats the most efficiant way to return oil back to oil pan? (solid or flexible pipes)

The best return lines are 1/2" or preferrably larger, drop down vertically a couple inches to get the floamy crap away from the turbo as quickly as possible, and then shoots into the oil pan just as high up as you can manage it with a good downward drain path at all times.
