FullBlown Sidewinder oil return location?
Ohh geez here we go. Another precision smoking turbo thread. I thought I had done a good job with my oil return to the girdle, but Honestly its a bit long since it goes from the turbo all the way to under the passenger motor mount, which forces my return line to have 90degee bend into the girdle. Due to the length and location it makes the return line only at a slight downward slope since it is so long.
So I was thinking of tapping my timing cover to the left of the crank pully as low as I can go. That will make my return line about 8" shorter with a steeper downward angle.
Where are you guys tapping your oil return for your FullBlown Sidewinder setups? Has anyone else had to re-do their return line?
Basically I am trying to figure out if my smoking is due to my return line or if my turbo is bad. What do you guys think?
my setup:
6265 twin scroll (maybe 800 miles)
-3 feed no restrictor (has inline oil filter)

Its hard to tell from the pics but it looks like you feed does Not sit directly ontop of the turbo (lets call it 0 degrees) nor does the return sit directly in the bottom (180 degrees) in which case oil can get trapped in the turbo and burn off. If thats the case which I believe it is just clock the turbo.

Nvm actually looking at the pic again it looks like you do have it clocked correctly. If its long and basically goes into the girdle parallel id take it off and make it alittle more taught and try to angle the 90 degree fitting up abit
