evening peeps...

after some advice really....

i am turboing a 2L zetec black top engine, and of course i need an oil return for my turbo..

so i spoke to my tuner (paul hills @ EA) and he told me that i should have my return fitting fitted below oil level, so off the sump went to be baffled and have a -10 fitting welded in place...

heres the end result




well pleased with how the baffling turned out, and the fitting looked good too i suppose...

paul said the oil return is in a better position below oil level and also works well if you have a pukka breather system, which i have.. he said any crank case pressure is lost thru the breather outlet. and also no crank case pressure will hold up the oil from the turbo and cause it to smoke. Engine advantages run many of there zetec turbo's with the oil return fitting in the same place without any problems...

i posted up these pictures on another forum and a few people have questioned the positioning saying totally the opposite to what i've been told and that it will cause a build up in pressure, hold the oil up, cause my car to smoke and muller my turbo...

really dont have a clue on all this, only going by what i've been told and recommended.....

can anyone help or got any comments...??!

thanks
