Re: turbo guys step in
Thanks, I was diggin back through some old threads and found guys talking about this a few years back so I may go this route though I dont know if I have any room for a drill since this is a full frame car and the crossmember consumes a lot of room! I have a drill bit and tap to go with the 1/2"npt thread but is the oil pan thick enough for any thread to grab by the time the fitting is threaded in all the way? If the engine wasnt in the car I would just weld a nut on the inside of the pan but I dont have that option unless I pull the engine. I toyed with the idea of plumming it right into the front cover and even took a spare cover and found a great spot for it but without welding a bung to it for support and sealing reasons it would likely leak but keep things very clean and simple. What type of hose/line are you guys using for the return line? The stock GN turbo had a corrogated stainless line sort of like what you see for a gas supply line for a stove and is 3/4" tubing.
