I had a -10an fitting on my oil pan but i swapped it for a new oil pan and decided to tap the timing cover like s2knoob89. I had a mase kit and ran it like that and didnt necessarily have any issues but decided to tap my timing cover to be sure of no oil backing up
my brother is a welder so he fabbed this up today. I'll be using it with my pfab elt top mount and i'm fairly positive it will work just fine

timing cover, but I have seen some diagrams showing that is where the F20 primarily pushing crank pressure up through so it seems like that would not be a good place.
Care to share those documents? I'm curious as this is where I am tapped as well.

His sig says he has the PTuning kit which the turbo drains to a tee in the factory oil drain. The other side of the tee goes to the oil scavenging pump.
Not advised to drain here unless you are running an oil scavenging pump.

should be at the lowest point where you can get free flow back to the pan. timing cover has proven to be one of the best spots. do it right once and be done.

I did mine as shown above.
I've seen plenty of people say the same about it not being a good idea and it will not work right but I've never had problems with mine being there. I'm sure the girdle or timing chain cover are more ideal options, but I think high up on the pan works fine too.
I wouldn't put it to the OEM drain bolt personally, but I've heard of people doing that as well.

Very interesting. Never heard this before. Explains a few things.

sorry to bump an old thread but didnt want to start a new one either.
From what I just read using the factory oil return line is not advisable? why?

The MASE kit shipped with a -10an line and the cartridge flange it was shipped with had a 13mm opening. This creates a similar condition to crank pressure or oil backup into the line which causes those little puffs of smoke.
