Using a HKS longrunner manifold, 67mm T4 on a 7m. ARZ cnc -10 on the drain for the turbo and the block, and the fittings shown. My question is, is this fine for drainage? I wasn't sure if the angle is ok because it is such a tight fit down there.. Any help appreciated! P.S. sorry for the lack of quality in the pictures.. its from my cellphone~!

I agree with the fire sleeve, but the angle is fine. If it starts to flow slowly, the oil coming behind it will push it on down. It's only the drain anyway.

The angle on this line looks ok, but you don't want a turbo "pushing" oil back to the block. That's a great way to flood your turbo bearing/seal and "push" oil out the turbine side to the exhaust.
