Not sure if I will get a big response but I really need to know has anyone had success in this?
Using the alternator / vaccuum pump oil drain plug on the front left side of block for a low mount turbo oil drain?
Has anyone done this and been successful?
I have spoken to half a dozen turbo fitters who have been doing this for years and had no problems yet and then I speak to other fitters and 4wd shops who say you shouldn't tap into it as the turbo will back up with oil using the T piece.
I am 95% leaning towards do the job properly and have a clean drain to the sump but just wanted to see what others think or any stories of success / failure?
