what happens if the oil oulet is level or slightly lower than oil pan??
I'm now getting to hook up the oil lines and realize that my turbo is just about even with the oil pan. Will this create a huge problem? I'm using 5/8" hose which is about 24" so it's plenty big but just slightly has a dip in the middle.

I had a puff of white smoke the other day when started my car... and a couple nights ago I smelled the same smell I got when that puff came out. I thought that it was just a one time thing but it occured to me that this could be the problem after I read this thread. Best I could my vortech drain is about level with the oil pan with no dips in the line. Think that's good enough??? I drove the car to my girlfriends house today and so far so good. Could it be possible that running it with the drain like that for a short while (probably less than 500 miles) messed up my blower seals??

Actually I had that user ID way before I had a turbo. The car didn't smoke

You do have options regarding specific scavanging pumps. I'll give three. One is a pump from Tilton. One is a pump 'revamp' of an existing product from Westech in Texas. The third: http://www.batinc.net/files/pump.pdf
