and i remember your other post and i told you to make sure oil was coming out of the oil return

oil retun is tapped above oil line in pan? you are sure of it?

[geisi13]

oil return is tapped above oil line in the pan? i tapped the oil pan at the highest possible point on the oppisite side of the drain plug, and the turbo oil retun is highed than the spot i tapped the pan because it is gravity feed. the line isnt my problem, oil is comming out of the turbo itself.
