oil return line
I was reading in your fact that for an oil return line you poked a hole in the oil pan. I was wondering if i could put a fitting on the drain plug for the oil return line. Or would this not work because of the great amount of gravitational force the oil has in the pan and the oil from the turbo wouldnt be able to flow back into the pan.

Re:oil return line
Nope that won't work..
You need the oil to drain into it form the top. Yes, because of the pressure that the oil already sitting in the pan puts on a hole lower than the surface would inhibit the gravity fed line from dumping the oil.
Not only that, but all of the Hondas I've seen have the drian plug on the opposite side of engine as the turbo.
That is.. if you're putting this setup on a Honda.
