Oil Return line

[Berto24]

I need a little help I am going to do the turbo build but I am not sure if the oil return line is going to be connected to the lower oil pan or somewhere else?

on the MSP, the return line fitting is on the main bearing support plate. some people have tapped their oil pans when doing turbo builds, but they tapp it as high as possible on the pan so that the oil may drain out with as much ease as possible back into the pan.

Also make sure that your drain line and fittings are large enough to give adequate flow as the outlet from the turbo is just gravity fed (well mostly). I have heard 1/2 inch.
You can also try to find an MSP bearing support tray (good luck), or get a spare bearing support tray and tap it, then put it on your block (not a quick job by any means).
So you may want to just go the tapped oil pan route, nothing wrong with it, just not ideal.
