Turbo drainback pressure

[Big Turbo Scott]

Does anyone have any firsthand experience with the actual oil pressure in the return line? Im sure it is considerably lower but by how much? How far from vertical can I stray before I have issues with the drainback? What is the maximum angle I can put into the line?Thanks Scott

I would say 0 to no pressure in the turbo drainback . Theres no way for it to build pressure because it doesnt have a restriction in it. As long as there is some "pitch" in it you should be fine.

Uh oh Scott, what are you doing now?

I need to run the line near horizontal and the drain from the turbo will have a 90 in it. I imagine I wont have an issue even if it builds a miniscule amount of pressure as the differential will still be present. Any more thoughts? Thanks Scott
