How critical is the draining of the oil from the turbo back to the engine?
For the turbo that is not going to be installed on my car, 'cause you cannot turbo a 914, I'm toying with mounting the turbo either right behind the collector on my header (see second picture...red outline on header, mine is similar to the one in picture....) (a la' Chapman's 3.0 turbo setup with turbo in the back) or use a mandrel bent U bend pipe to locate the turbo up where Ben M (airsix) has his turbo located (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/post-2-1095059341.jpg) Since the oil going to the turbo is pressurized, shouldn't the oil have no problems getting out of the bearings of the turbo and back to the motor without assistance??

Hi Mike. I've got thick skin. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) Mike already knows this, but just so everybody is clear: My turbo install is temporary. I made a concious decision to NOT go overboard with fancy plumbing, custom stainless exhaust, new turbo and BOV, etc. I decided it would be a waste of time and money to do that because I've got other plans for this car. This project was fun, but ladies, 150hp doesn't cut it for me. This project was to teach me how to tune my EFI system (in preparation for running it on a six or turbo-six), give me a few more ponies to tide me over until the six is ready, and as a learing experience. Blowing the doors off Impallas, VR6 Passats, and all non-S2000 Hondas is just a bonus. When my next powerplant is ready I'll hand-me-down this stuff to someone else to play with (excluding the ECU).
