had my return plumbed into my sump and it sits way above oil level, do you think it will be ok to use as its more of a right angle return. its twice as thick as the standard fiesta t2 return at 20mm thick.

Mate, take everything you here on there and double check else where, somepeople help others just like to stir.
There wont be any issues with that at all... Just make sure to wrap it or the downpipe as the heat from the exhaust may kill the silicone as could the oil if its not the lined silicone
