I have Tim's log style manifold with T3 super 60 turbo.
I need to know the length of the oil drain (return) line, so that I can custom order return line from ATPturbo.com.
please let me know guys!!
THank you!!! smile.gif

How are we gonna know if we don't have your setup? Take some measuring tape and go measure it.

doode, u seriously need to stop making a thread for EVERY single question. and you need to look into it first, so you dont ask questions that no one can answer...
your oil return line depends on a few things...
a) where you tap your oil pan
b) which turbo, some will be a lil different
c) and location of your turbo.. which is dependant on your manifold
what i did was get 2 -10AN 90 deg fittings.. 45 degree would be better, and i rotated them to kinda point towards eachother, and measure what the line would be.. i did this, so i would have as much hard line as possible to prevent kinks, or any possibility of the oil drain being blocked.. so far its working out great, took the turbo out, after about 2k miles, and still has NO shaft play, no oil leaking, etc.
