Well...

I previously had my oil return in the windage tray. It worked absolutely great. Unfortunately I won't be able to drain to the tray any more cause of where the turbo sits with my new setup.

I'm wondering.. Has anyone had issues with putting the oil return in the oil pan? I had a look a the dipstick and it looks like oil sits pretty high in the pan (obviously not as high when running).

The other question is, if the oil pan return will work is there a minimum length of flex hose I should be using, or is a short return just as good? BTW, the braided return line is nice and big.

Thanks in advance
Darryl

I'm draining into the pan without issue. It did back-up at first, but once I took out the low spot it worked great.
