If I use a -6AN oil drain hose in a Garrett 35R, can I damage the turbo?

The reason is because the oil outlet is near of the turbine inlet flange, so if I use a -8 or -10 AN 45 degree connector will hit the flange.

So what do you think?

Carlos: -6 is a bit small I'd clock the centre so it's angled away from the header and use a larger hose with a gentle bend in it.

If I rotate the cartrige, the oil outlet will be not vertical, so will not afect?

Thanks!

Mine is almost 45 degrees off vertical ;)

OK so I need to modify the outlet flage, so -8 or -10?

Mine is -12 but that only because I'm using the port on the GroupA pan, -10 is plenty as it allows for bends in the hose without it becoming too restritive.

Just remember it's a gravity drain so it MUST go downhill at all times.

you can use it, but you need an oil restrictor since its ball bearing
