FP oil return line

[dan2288]

Ok, so we just put on the blue FP oil return line on the fp3065 and noticed that it fits really tight, kinds like its too short. When its on, there is a little bend in the line because it is so tight. Is that how its supposed to be ? Im just worried that it might block some oil flow.

and the oil feed line i think goes to the head. Where exactly do you put it ?

A kinked return line will kill your turbo, don't leave it like that, find a solution.

Feed from the head comes from the left side of the head, by the thermostat housing, right under the valve cover.

I have a question about the oil return line, I'm putting one of my 14b's on my camaro and I was wondering if the oil return line has to be travling down or if it could travel about 2-4 inches higher than the turbo thanks

the only thing getting the oil out the center section of the turbo is gravity.

When I went to install my blue FP return line, IMO it was on the short side as well. I had to stretch it abit to get it to fit but once installed it seems to work fine. If its the same length as mine, it should be fine but if you have an install pic, that would help out.

The oil feed is from the location, like mentioned above. On the passenger side of the head, near the front, just below the valve cover, in the thermostate housing area. Be careful in this area as it is easy to strip this location. Not sure of the recommended torque spec but I used 15 ft/lbs, I believe.

I'm having issues with mine leaking, and being a tad to short.
