Like the title says, where is the best place to put a turbo oil drain on the oil pan. I was thinking right above the oil level sensor and as high as a I can mount it on the pan. Thoughts?

On the front of the pan under the balancer. As low as you can on the pan. Thats where mine are. Work well... Hope that helps
Um, as LOW on the pan as possible? I thought the drain was supposed to be as HIGH on the pan as possible so the turbo's oil pours in to the oil that is already in the pan. I'm confused nowQuote:

Ok, got it. I ended up having the welder put a -12 male bung right above the oil level sensor. That seems to be where a lot of people put it and don't have any problems. Thanks thoQuote:

Have to look close at the front of the pan
I see them, thanks. Nice LSX by the way
Mine is in the front also, in the same exact spot... had some oil drainage problems with it on the side of the pan. It also causes windage on the crank if its too high in the pan.

i did one on each side , -10 (dont mind the gen3 and gen4 knock sensors )
I ended up having a -12 bung welded on. From what I've heard, this location works well
