I was thinking of going to the front cover but now I thing the best thing is to tap the oil pan for the return line for a better gravity setup.Any ideas?

No. The Oil Pan will leak, and the return will be lower than the oil level (not good).

Tap Any 84/85 Front Cover. It already has the dimple for the factory Turbo Oil Return.

A -10AN fitting fits perfectly.

Nice pic of it Directfreak.Thanks.Now I just need to get a fitting for my old 84 cover and get a car.Nothing for sale to drop it in yet. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/angry.png

Yup front cover, if you made the oil go into the pan you would be creating backpressure on the turbo drain.

Yet I hear thats where lots of people run the return line.That why I was thinking of it.

That's just becuuse it's a "Logical" place on most Piston cars. They just didn't know any better at the time when they did it to the Rotary.

Thats what I figured. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/cool.png
