Hey y’all,

I’m getting close to drilling my oil pan for the turbo oil drain, and I’m wondering how you guys routed your drain line. I know keeping AC/PS makes it much harder, but I need both systems.

Current oil drain flange, ~5” to a barb AN10 fitting



The tip of the barb almost rests on that one power steering line, so the hose has to go between the coolant hose & power steering line.

Roughly the area where NPT fitting will go into the oil pan. ~1.75” Barb to NPT.



Roughly the angle of attack the hose would come down through the engine bay.
