Phillip_411 Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 Hello,I have seen some oil pans that have been welded to receive the turbo oil return line. Is this better than using the stock location? Is there a problem with using the stock location? I will be using an aftermarket T3/T4 with a treadstone exhaust manifild.

polarisman14 Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 (edited) You can't use the stock drainback location with the treadstone manifold unless your center cartridge is way up high for whatever reason--the stock turbo sits on top of the manifold not alongside it which is why they can drain back into the timing cover. I just got a 1/2" NPT plug for the timing cover and welded a stainless barb on to the oil pan in between 2 of the bolt holes and as close to the bolt flange as possible.
