after i ported and opened up the manifold it was right at 2.550

i think im going to build a shorty header for the turbo next

He is talking about the charge pipes on the cold side, not the hot parts lol

Man, I can't wait to get this thing running and see the diffrence myself. It will be nice not having the oil return pump that I am burning out one EVERY winter. I think I will have to do some slight tuning since it should spool a little sooner.
Lol! No sweat guys. I just ordered some more 2.5" piping and couplers. So once I get that in I can finish my install. I got my steel braided lines for the supply and the return made up today. HOLY cow, they wanted an arm and a leg. I paid 85 bucks for the two hoses(one 10an return and one 4an supply) with fittings. At least I know they will last a while in the cold up here. Probably be another week untill I get the rest of the charge pipes up here to do more.

Between all the billet adapters and braided hose and AN fittings I had about $300 in my oil feed/drain setup. But it worked like a charm and never had any issues with the system.

Well maybe I am over doing things and making this more difficult than it really should be. I tried to run a #10 line for the oil return. I got an aluminum flange off ebay, and had a line made up to go on the fitting. Had a hard time lining everything up on the bench but it fit with everything lined up properly. Today I started to put everything on(havent had time to work on this thing lately), and I can't clock the cold side of the turbo to where I need it. One of the bolts that goes into the cold side of the turbo hits the fitting, not letting me clock the cold side a little more clockwise that I need. I already had to swap the hold down flanges around on the cold side to clear where the fitting is at.

Any ideas? Should I just try going to a #8 line? The only reason that I went with a #10 was so that the oil would be able to flow better in the extreme cold. What do you guys think?

Make a flange for the return and weld a stand pipe on it with a -10 fitting.

I used industrial pipe (nipples, coupling, and 45deg elbow to angle my -10 drain fitting to where I could access it best

You guys have any pictures? Just curious.
