Oil Return Line

So I was wandering on the oil return line, instead of drilling and tapping into the oil pan would it ok if I just used the dipstick hole? I'am not sure if the hole is too small when it gets down there or what, but it would be a lot less hassle if I could do it this way. Thanks

Just drain the oil, take off the pan, drill and your done. Its not that hard, just take about 30 to 45 mins of your time.

alot safer that way too.. you don't really want the oil hose getting pulled outta there or blow out.. it would make a serious mess.. just tap the pan for your new oil fitting, and be done with it..your spending a lot of money on this setup, your going to want to do it right.

Well how would you plan on running that without creating a bend that's more than 45 degrees?

Your oil will back up and you'll blow the seals on your turbo.......and then it will smoke really REALLY bad.

Sure, have at it :tardbang:

Tap into the pan
