Default FAO: any one with a zetec turbo

Just need some help I'm running a tubular manifold to mount my turbo to one side of my engine and i was wondering where i would put my oil return front or back of my sump. Any help would be great.



Cheers

Whuh?! How the fook...?! You'd have to go through the gearbox!

No real drama either way - the Zetec's well baffled. Need to make sure the return is as close to the running oil level as possible without it being affected by cornering surges. In practice a central location (front-middle or back middle) at the top of the sump/bottom of the block webbing is fine.

There's a ~10mm bolt on the front of the Zetec-E that can be drilled out to accept the 18.2mm ERST oil return (an 18mm hole should give a good tight fit).
