Default turbo feed/return angle??

so i got a td05 with a t3 manifold, so i bought an ebay adapter plate that lowers the turbo a good inch or two

now when i go to put my return line on, in order to make it as straight as possible, the return line is at a good 45 degree angle to the inlet on the oil pan (and thats the highest it can go on the pan.

same thing with the feed line, i know this isnt as crucial because it is getting forced in, BUT, still, its at a 45 degree angle too...

now, will this cause a problem for oil backing up and not draining right? because now, at the very bottom point on the mid section, there will be oil just chillin there, and not being drained, so i wasnt sure if this would be okay or not, any questions just ask

Theres no major problem with that angle, actually some 300zx got almost that kind of angle to drain the oil

awesome thanks, i just figured that oil would stay in the bottom instead of drain out and blow some seals or something

As long as the turbo is higher than the oil in the pan, it will be fine.

The new greddy turbo kits for K series use the oil drain plug with a banjo fitting as the return. Oil can stay in the line, it won't hurt anything
