Default Oil pan tapping?

Ok so Im gettin my oil pan tapped. Does the turbo need to come off while this is being done (car is being towed to the shop)...? I dont feel comfortable doing this so Im having a shop do it. Hopefully they dont charge me an arm and a leg for it. laugh.gif I'm supplying the new return line and fitting so it should be a pretty cut and dry project for the shop, right?

The oil pan has to come off

You can use a bulk head and not need to have a shop weld it in

^^ That's what I'm doing.

I'm using a bulkhead fitting and some JB Weld.

Weld it.

Or don't, leak oil everywhere, then weld it.
