Well, I put my rearend kit in and it feels like it has more power (from 4.57 gears to 4.08). But I also have 18" custom wheels that weigh about 30 lbs a piece with the drag radials and that may be lighter than the stock rims and tires I previously had.

Maybe he got lighter rims then.

who knows i mean its not gonna be that much of a difference really except 5-10hp, no big deal since ur turboed

Even 100 miles of driving with the turbo drain going to the pan drain can cause back-up of the oil and coking in the turbo.

You should have not driven it at all. If you're experiencing turbo problems this is probably the culprit.

The best place to ensure never backing the oil up in the turbo is to put it above the pan and in the girdle.

to be honest with you i know that caused the turbo seal to blow but i just found out a little too late.

^^ Question. Did you tap your oil pan or block girdle for the turbo oil return line?

return line was connected to the drain plug............. but InlinePro changed that, when installing the rebuilt turbo (basically brand new, for all intensive purposes). They upgraded everything in my turbo kit and my rear end conversion kit with the updates they had made to their kits since the time the kits were available at the time I originally purchased............... for free.
