^^Yea pretty good view of everything.

Guys, I need help finding an oil flange for my drain line. The turbo is a T4 S475 and the drain line is -10. Would something like this fit the turbo? Billet Alumimum Turbo OIL Return Drain Flange 10 AN DSM 4G63T 1G 2G EVO 8 9 10 | eBay

I don't have the turbo in my possession and would like to get a flange here for when it arrives to speed up the installation. Any help would be appreciated.

That looks like it would work.
I have been eyeing the one also from Russell Performance found here:
Russell Performance - Universal Turbo Adapter Fittings
It's the blue flange, upper right of page -10 AN

Are there any issues with heat if I run -10 braided line strait to that flange? I've seen some peeps add a metal NPT extension so the AN line sits below the exhaust housing.

I used a 4" nipple to try and get the hose as far away from the turbo as I could...didnt want the rubber melting.

My grandpa opened Driveline Service of Las Vegas 40 years ago and these are just a percentage of good take outs from over the years.

Any pics of this? Did your turbo come tapped for an NPT fitting on the return side or you tapped it yourself?

I used an adapter piece that had 1/2" npt thread...

You can kind of see it here:

It goes down to 90 degree fitting and the hose is wrapped in that heat wrap and wraps around to the oil pan.

How far do you guys think I can get with these injectors using 91 pump gas and water/meth injection on this 4.8L? 10psi? 15psi?

http://www.summitracing.com/parts/fms-m9593-g302

They are 48mm injectors which I believe my stock NNBS injectors are. They flow 47#/hr @ 39.15psi which translates to 57#/hr at 58psi. I can buy them brand new for $250 and I have the data for them. Thoughts?
