Oil return line..

Real quick
does a kink in a oil return line off a bullseye turbo cause lag?
Hey guys I got a bullseye vtrim turbo on my 1g. So I bought the oil return line kit from sbr. turns out you have to trim your motor mount for it to fit perfect. So i just put the kit on It uses pushlock fittings with a special oil line. the freakin line wont bend at all! so its a "little" bitt kinked. will this be very bad for my turbo? the kit comes with a straight fitting and a 45 degree fitting, I personally think it needs two 45 fitting for it to work right for that thick as blue oil line.

It shouldn't affect the spool characteristics of the turbo but I would be concerned with the resulting increase in oil pressure in the center section of the turbo. How severe of a kink is it?

Put a hose clamp on it right where it wants to kink, that should stop it from doing so.
