I've just watched maxrpm's EFR Kraken low-mount video
... and was concerned about how short the oil return hose is, at 18.05 it looks to be ~60mm.
Is this enough to damp the vibration between the turbo and engine block or is this something that's not an issue given that the turbo is mounted to the engine block via the manifold?
I'm concerned this may strain the fittings and cause oil leaks.

For me, I have the same Low Mount / EFR6258 combination and I drilled and tapped the pan with the engine in the car, more towards the front of the pan This required a longer hose. I used 90deg -10AN fitting at the pan and flange/barb connection at the turbo. I know EFR6258 is fairly sensitive to back pressure, but I have not had issues yet... (context: street car, 10psi, ~1000 miles driven on setup). If I had issues I would upsize the pan fitting to 1/2in NPT, it's currently 3/8.
Just another option to consider.

Just received my T3 high mount BP1.8 manifold, its a beautiful thing to behold !
This is a really excellent casting, very smooth inside and out, and it should flow really well, and its cast from the good stuff too with generous wall thickness.
Very happy, having a beer right now to celebrate.
