This oil drain line took hours to build.
Hours!
It all started when the 1/2" NPT fitting refused to screw into the drain flange on the turbo. Sooooo... out came the grinder and off came the turbo, and then I started chewing on the turbine housing. Quiet some time later the bloated T4 flange was the size of a normal T4 flange. I must have taken a quarter inch off three of the sides... what a mess.
No pics - because F that noise. But, you can see traces of the work below.
With that done (and cleaned up) I could focus on actually building the line. Which was pretty straightforward.
One thing I had to solve was the excessive play around the bolts for the drain flange. So to limit any potential misalignment I made a couple of shoulder bushings out of some hardline... added bonus is they keep the washers in place.
