When it comes to oil drains from the turbo to the oil pan, make sure that NO part of the hose is horizontal with the ground. It all has to have a downward angle to the pan. Also, make sure you have an oil restrictor in the feed as well.

I don't think a restrictor is always necessary. I ran my masterpower for two years without one and never had any smoke or oil in the housing :shrug:

In most cases is a good idea. I'm not sure of the size of his feed line either. High oil pressure can make it leak. Mine had a FAINT oil leak so I put the restrictors in and walla. Is it a must in all cases, no. But its a good and smart idea.

Good info, what size line, fittings and restrictor did you use?
