^^^ I HGHLY do not recommend that. That's the easy/cheap way to fix your problem that might cause you bigger problems in the long run especially during an aggressive turn/slalom.

IMO the optimal oil return line goes into the block but if you ever decide to return to NA than you need to find a plug and put it in with some thread locker.

Anyone that only goes to shops for oil changes is running a little down on oil after a few thousand miles (like a pint), oh sh*t it threw a rod!... uhh no, your still getting oil pressure just don't go road racing on semi-slicks or better put new hole where it should be.

uhh ok, when's last time your car was down a pint of oil from 100% full capacity (the dipstick would read pretty much full)? did it blow up? no, it's still in the safe range.

I've never taken out a loan to build my car, I've done it over 5 years working hard. Your's is faster than when you got it, that's progress but please don't pass on advice that sure it's fine driving your NA accent with 1 pint of oil under full. For you it's fine, sh*t my dd probably has 2 pints under full but I'd never drive my 420whp high boost car knowing I'm under in oil. That's flipping a coin.

Sounds like the compressor blades are rubbing against the housing take you turbo out NOW and you might still be able to rebuild it.

Then the turbo is probably fubared, tee the oil feed from the pressure sender and make your getting enough oil pressure.
