I'm gonna probably be the first of many to tell you thats probably gonna give you some trouble. At the lowest it should be draining to the top of the pan. Even better to the girdle or timing cover. Your asking for blown seals with it that low.

Dude you need to get yourself some proper hardware. A rubber line right next to your open dump? Thats just asking for problems. Not to mention what the other guy said about having the drain too low in the pan. Tap the girdle, get some earls fittings and call it a day.

i suggest timing cover, considering if you ever want to go back to stock then all you have to do is swap covers. Girdle is a different story but still effective.

That will 100% lead to premature failure.

check out the timing cover return thread.

Much MUCH better option. If I were you I wouldn't drive the car again until you get this addressed.

I agree; please take the aforementioned suggestions and use either the girdle or timing chain cover.

Everyone else has said it. But. That's not going to work. The line is going to fail and that's not enough return for a turbo.
