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??
