I think I've buggered up and wasted some dosh with my return line. 
I got a steel braided line made up to the same size as the original one, which is all good, but I forgot that I've got the new exhaust manifold to shift the turbo away from the steering box, so it's prolly gonna be too short.
I'll have to pull off the turbo tomorrow and check it out.

I think dumping the oil back in to the engine above the oil level would be ideal. That way it woulden't have to "push" oil out of the way to drain into the pan.

It's not a problem if the oil filler neck nipple is vented. If you plug it, bad things start to happen, I found out the hard way

I'm just sying it's ideal to have the oil dump back in above the oil level in the engine. The less restriction on the turbo drain the better.
If you cap all vents to the oil pan you may end up leaking oil by the turbine seal. The oil drain should have no presure on it, by blocking off vents you can trap "crank case" pressure. It's probably not a big deal on your NA but you might start to develop prematue oil leaks.
