    Turbo drain

    Just wanna make sure my drain is sufficient here. When I clocked my turbo, the center section ended up at a very small angle instead of pointing straight down. I can't set it up any other way cuz of the location. Will the oil still drain out of the turbo sufficiently?

    Looking at your drain fitting. Anywere from 5:00-7:00 is fine. Even a little harder angle it will still work.

    This probably falls in line with the "5:00 - 7:00" answer, but I've been told they shouldn't be clocked any more than ten to twelve degrees.

    based on having a couple of rearmount setups, it'll still drain if the fitting is sideways, mine did, for thousands of mile.
    that scavenging pump helps a lot with drainage.
