turbo oil inlet and drain help

Hey guys I am having a problem with my turbo. Im using a t25 with the hks mani. When mounted to the mani I can not clock the turbo so that the oil inlet and oil drain are going straight up and down. Anyone know a solution for this?

They don't have to be straight up and down. The feed line is pressurized and the return is gravity fed. As long as the return is between a 225 and 315 degree angle, you should be fine.

Re: turbo oil inlet and drain help

My drain has a 45 on it and it drops at an angle. For some brilliant reason we tapped the pan on the OTHER side of the exhaust. It works though. My feed wraps around the tranny and comes in from where the block is to meet the turbo rather than going around it (or over the head)
