not where i did.. lol.. my turbo went bye bye.. lol oopsie.. better idea to tap the block for a return, but if your gonna tap the oil pan, i would tap it AS HIGH as possible, and nearest to wear it flattens out, like this..
but do it like 1/2"-3/4" higher and closer to the middle of the pan...

yep, a lil to the middle and as high as possible, thats where i did it, worked great!
IMO tapping the block doesnt exactly seem like its as easy as tapping the oil pan, and if you already have a low turbo you might be screwing your self and making it so you have to get a pump for the oil return.

Taping the pan or block is all just opinion and varrys with every diffrent application. As long as its above the oil level and below the turbo you will be fine. Just make sure the oil flow is at a downward angle. Hell i have seen where they needed a pump to return the oil to the pan as the turbo was mounted so low but thats another story. I put mine right at the high oil level and never never had an issue unless i overfill the oil level extremely, Managed to by 5 quarts one time sad.gif when i was filling it on a hill. anyway thats another story. Just put it about 1 inch below the top of the pan witha 5/8" return line and your fine.
