T3's do not have oil seals, but rather piston ring type rings. I'm not dorwning my turbo in oil because of the feed, but because it simply can't drain fast enough.

Thanks for the link, I'm going to order a return line from them today



I took the AN-NPT fitting, threaded the hole and sunk a soft bodied screw into it. Then I drilled a 1/16" hole through it and polished the tip.

1/16" hole has been perfect. You have to remember you are pumping oil at up to 80psi sometimes through that line.

You can also use a brass fitting and probably fill it with plumbing solder, then drill the 1/16" hole through it. It would take 5 minutes with a torch and then it does not matter what size feed line you use.

1/2" drain line is more than sufficient!
