It looks like the oil return line runs almost horizontal (perhaps a slight angle downward). Is this OK? I assume so since there is probably still some oil pressure in the return side from the feed side. Just wondering because I will be mounting my turbo low on my homemade kit and was just worried about the oil line. Thanks.

On my PTK kit gen 1, The Turbo sits high enough where it will gravity feed down into the oil pan. I don't think to want the oil puddling up where it can't drain. MIght mess up the seals.

Exactly. So as long as i is atleast slightly below horizontal I am ok?

My TTI kit was the same way. The oil return has a slight incline. I didn't have any problems with oil backing up into the turbo. I'll try to find a pic for you.

Thanks for checking either way. If you still live in Brockton we could meet up some time and I can see it in person.
