just drill a hole through the crossmember where the line needs to pass through, it will be fine.

The angle of it looks fine. Im not sure I would drill a hole in the crossmember since the crossmemeber will be stationary and the line will be rocking with the motor.

You are most likely correct. You are building up to much pressure on the turbo forcing it past your seals which will be real bad in the end. I don't think that your engine moves alot with those mounts in there does it? Either that and clock just the center part of the turbo to the rear.

goddamn that pic needs some resizeing...

the problem is not the B-series, nor the EF...both are bad ***... the problem is your ***-Chrome manifold, it puts the turbo too far away from the block so your oil return points at the crossmember...

i had to clock my turbo at a slight angle to keep it from hitting the crossmember...but in doing so it would try to kink the return line. mine is fine right now...

also i will be taking my turbo off in the next couple days i will try to take a pic if you want....

that's great and all, but the ss auto crap mani's put the turbo way low, so you're going to have a hard time no matter how you clock the turbo.
