Oil drain can not have any up flow, complete line has to be going down.

I did flatten it out since the picture. The outlet of the turbo is about 4" above the connection at the engine.

That's an interesting spot for the oil drain, haven't seen that before.

No real good place to connect the small line for the boost gauge so I drilled and tapped the manifold. worked out pretty good.

While I had the cover off, painted it.

There is a spare port where you can snap off the end and go to a 3/8 vacuum line.
By the time I would have had to reduce to the small line provided with the gauge it was easier to install the adapter they provided.
It also helps to have a 1/8 27 NPT tap and 11/32 drill handy.
