It sits pretty low.

Well its one of the things that absolutely makes this kit stand out from the rest. No oil pan tapping, and the option to add oil cooler to that pump also. Mine has never failed, its quite.
I realize that, and I agree that it is a good solution and works well. As I said, I simply just don't want to add another possible point of failure to an already complex system.

Thanks for pic. Still kind of hard to tell from the picture though... About where is the bottom most part of the turbo in relation to the pan? Above the top of the pan? Slightly below the top of the pan? Exactly even with the top of the pan?

The bottom oil return port on the CHRA for the GT turbo sits about 2" above the mating line between the oil pan and lower block.

Thank you.

By the way, where does the scavenger pump return the oil to? Don't think I saw that mentioned anywhere...

Custom fitting on the front of the timing cover. When should we expect an order from you...
