Whever u put the return, it just needs to be below your oil level. D series pans are cheap, go pick up another one.

My oil return line is high on my pan, is this a problem? I was told to keep it high. Its way lower than the output from the turbo.

u want the line to be over the oil level so the oil in the return line can actually flush out with ease

Its a B Series pan. So if i put it on the high part of the sump itll be ok?. The high part meaning the part where the exhaust goes under

yes, again it should be ABOVE oil level, hence the highest location possible.
