GirlFriends Turbo Blew

The lowest point of the return line should be where it enters the pan, its gravity fed. You do not want the oil return line to dip down and come back up to the pan. Also the return line must enter the oil pan at a point higher than the level of oil in the pan, meaning you should be able to disconnect your oil drain line and have no significant amount of oil drain out of the pan or line. How big is your drain line? An oil drain line has to be at least -8 line or bigger I would think.

I have seen a few junkyard turbo setups with oil drain lines improperly routed and enter the pan at level below the oil. All of these blew large amounts of smoke and ruined the turbo.
