If you plan on having your turbo and or your engine not blowing up, i suggest you run those return lines again.....

Then again maybe your oil is turbo charged so it can go up and down hills

this is what your line is supposed to look like

I called you just last week on Friday, but the only number I have is your work and you weren't there. I haven't had a day off since.

The oil drain was a concern, I said cut it if you think we should, Ghetto D said that it would be fine because he's had worse returns work, and bambooseven said, "uh, can you do it for me?" haha

I can't see a problem with that oil return. The oil has pressure, so I can't see it being a problem returning to the oil pan.

i was worried about that too, but we figured as long as the hole in the pan is lower then the turbo it should work like a syphon right?

look at the picture in the link i sent you and make your feed line resemble that....that line is too long and looks like a roller coaster. it should be relativily straight or atleast parabolic....

We'll find out tomorrow. I really think it's coolant though. if taking the coolant out of the picture doesn't fix the problem then i'll get a new oil pan and try again.
