Hey, fperra,

The pic won't display for some reason. Can you e-mail it to me at jim@thecallcenter.org?

Thanks

Jim

Thats not a good idea for a turbo. It needs to be above the oil level. You are going to have to drop the pan and weld in a fitting.
If it's no good for a turbo, than how is it any good for a SC??

Both the turbo and the SC use the oil for both lubrication and cooling, but as the trubo is exhaust driven it gets much more heat and requires much more oil flow to cool it. The sump return is restrictive. Adequate for an SC but not for a turbo.

Suck it up Jim and pull the pan. I'm a firm believer in doing it correct the first time.

This is the bung I welded into my pan. Plenty of threads and no warp.

Its not good for a turbo because the oil outlet has little to no pressure. It will back up and blow the oil seals in the turbo.

Its actually the ladder frame that holds the mains in place.
