Possible turbo drain issues?
Does anyone have a 20g or larger UFI turbo sitting on a Denco high mount manifold ? I am concerned about how low the drain pipe sits, it is not much higher then my my drain fitting on my engine who ever did the turbo conversion taped into the oil feed and return for the vacuum pump,at present the hose dipes below the 2 drains i can shorten the hose but I am not sure what angle the hose must be to drain properly can you give a drain to much back pressure on the oil flow ?

It's not ideal having your drain there mate.
Some people have that set up and are fine but you really want it to go direct into sump with a nice easy path and large flow.
Tapping into the vac pump has 2 x drain lines going to a T and then into the block which could create back pressure, etc.

Thanks AB I had a feeling that was going to be the answer, for now I will straighten the line the best that i can and take it easy untill i can tap the sump I am going away for the Australia day long weekend and I have been busting my hump trying to get it ready with all the delays I keep getting,so the oil feed should be ok then ?

Sorry mate, just walked in the door from a trip.
I have never seen an oil feed on the vac to be honest so I can't comment.
Strange as you can easily tap the feed from the bung on LHS engine mount or even from the oil sender on the other side, I'm sure it would be fine but I can't confirm that.
