Do you guys think that a 90 degree fitting on the bottom of the oil return is too much angle? A 90 degree works so much better for my setup. Every kit out there comes with a 45 but I tried that and it doesn't work as well as the 90

I'm using a 45° on my setup and it works great... I wouldn't think the 90° would flow as well as the 45° but I also don't think it would cause any problems. What setup are you running that a 90° would work better?

Same setup I had last year. I tried the 45 and it just didn't seem to sit right.

As you remember with kevins setup, the oil drain seems pretty important. I wouldn't chance it with your luck with shit breaking.

It depends on the turbo. A ball bearing turbo doesn't use much oil, so a lesser oil return can work.

It's a FPDSM88 ball bearing. You think the -10 90 degree will be ok?

Yes.
