Tapping Oil Pan for Turbo. Need Advice!!!

[dcdirtrider]

I had blown FS-DET earlier in the year and was told the I could buy a 2001 Mazda 626 engine. I bought one and I want to install it as soon as possible. Unfortunately when the motor blew, it threw a rod right through the Main Bearing Support Plate. I have the removable oil return port though. I was wondering if any body has any advice on tapping the oil pan or the support plate. Should I tap the oil pan or the support plate. If you have any pictures too, please share!

You can tap the support plate. A 10an fitting will work for the oil return. If you have the old plate take measurements form it and place the return in same location.
