berg Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Can any of you NA-T guys using the spower manifold post pics and explanations of your oil return on the turbo end? Im trying to use a 45 degree goodridge fitting off the turbo but i can only get the turbo half way on the manifold studs before the fitting is fouling on the manifold runner Cant see what else i can do as a 90 degree off the turbo seems a bad idea? Any help appreciated as its all thats stopping me from turning the key just about Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

berg Posted July 19, 2013 Author Share Posted July 19, 2013 Ah never even seen the thread, just had a look now I didnt realise i could clock the turbo as i thought the drain had to be straight down How does everyone else not have this problem with theirs?

Fly Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Ideally the turbo should he straight down there are adapters out there to help the issue. Look for rich's thread that's his solution there are others mentioned in there. It's a royal pita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berg Posted July 19, 2013 Author Share Posted July 19, 2013 Thats what im using with aeroquip/goodridge fittings on the ends, but its the fitting itself that fould the manifold Guess ill just have to work it out tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich.2211 Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Ideal scenario the return should be straight down but I've finally finished my oil return yesterday after lots of fettling and settled for the turbo clocked slightly (no more than 15 degrees) and using a 30 degree fitting as oppose to a 45 degree fitting off the turbo to help keep the resistance as low as possible.

Rich.2211 Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Not the best picture but an idea of how my oil line sits now: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
