[RESOLVED] oil pressure

[RedWagon]

Does anyone know if there is a lot of oil pressure going through the oil return line off the turbo? thanks

The only pressure inside the pan and the drain line should only be crankcase pressure. The only thing the "return" line is doing is draining off the oil from the shaft.

Think of it like your air in your engine. The oil feed line feeding your turbo is like your intercooler pipes to your combustion chamber and the oil drain line is like your exhaust. Its just trying to get out of the way.

It's a drain. It runs the same pressure as the sump plug when removed.
