Best way to install return line on PTE's?

[bmxrider154]

When installing my Scm-5031 i ran into a few problems with the return line. I bought the return kit from forced performance and it was impossible to use the line provided b/c it would kink due to the tight bend. First it hits the front motor mount so i grinded that down but its still tight. I then had to use some 5/8 heater hose due to its flexibility.I ended up getting it to work but not satisfied, so i am asking for some opinions/pointers on how you guys have gone about this. Im considering the slowboy kit that has one 45 deg. and one straight, but want to see if anyone has had success with that combo. Thanks.

I run the 90/45 from SBR and it still causes a slight bend in the return line, but it is no where near from restricting oil flow. Ideally, the best way to do it is 2 45* fittings. This way the actual return line is straight and only bends slightly.

I agree 100%

make sure there aren't any kinks at all bud. A kink can cause smoke and also cause the oil to push back into the turbo and that is not a good thing.

I used a cut down fitting off the turbo, cut a big notch in the motor mount, and used the stock return on the pan cut down.

I tried heater hose but it swelled up and got soft after a week or two, now I'm running some nice silicon lined return hose.
