Check valves are used on low mount stuff. Hi mount the turbo is the highest point in the oil system it will drain back down the psi line. Hi mount sometimes use restrictors. 60psi with a -4 line is a huge amount of oil. Looks like your drain line is level at you frame and maybe slighlt higher just after the frame acting like a p trap. Might need to reroute and might need a small jet with that size feed line.

-4 is to large and is not need. No need fir -10 unless you are not going vertical with line or in very cold climates. Been using -8 drains with -3 feed lines and no problems.
We did need to run a restrictor on our t106 and had a dry sump pump pulling on the drain.
I agree with the hi milage time for an overhaul. Missed the milage thing and seeing how the problem just showed up.

I'm rocking a nitrous pill restrictor on my MP, no issues. It's spins better now with 5k miles on then it did new. I can shut the truck off and give the compressor a quick spin by hand and it will spin for around 10 seconds before stopping.
Sounds like 50k mile maybe the end of the road for your unit. I'd contact one of the retailers and see if MP can rebuild it and save you some money rather then buying a new one.

So you saying every 50k i'm going to have the turbo rebuilt. I can get rebuilt here local for about $200. I was just hoping it didn't need to be rebuilt. I'm going to see if can get the drain line with more angle to see if that helps. If not i take to have it rebuilt.

Yea, there no smoke coming out the exhaust pipe. I have mirror looking at the the exhaust tips. Like said before i'll try to angle the drain line some more to see if that helps. If not i'll get rebuilt here localy and may be upgrade the drain line. All I know i've been running same size drain line. I have replace few times because it getting hot and cracked. Thanks for input Rick.
