The banjo could be a problem in the turbo drain, you might have to swap it for a straight union. How come mate? I will need one at the block too. This is all new ground to me lol. simon. I have started posting on Instagram also my name on there is turbomk1golf

the oil drain needs to be nice and free flowing, and 10mm bore or more, I suspect the banjo could be a bit too conveluted and will try to stop gravity doing its work.

Well the bore is 10mm and the thread is m14 the bolts that go in the banjo have the 4 holes in them for more flow?

"Apparently" when the oil comes out of the turbo its frothy a bit like a cappacino. What thread is in the adaptor plate? On 30th Dec, 2010 madmk1 said: On 30th Dec, 2010 Joe C said:

Simon I really don't think that return pipe is big enough. I used similar sized fittings on my first attempt and it just didn't work. I ended up with oil getting into the compressor housing and basically going everywhere! If you've still got the original pipe have a measure of the bore of that, im sure mine is around a 14mm bore.  Thanks mate for your info i have had it all put together today, and i think i will have to rethink this.

I think it was TD the suggested using an old oil pick up pipe from the gearbox to make an oil drain out of. That's what I did and it's a nice diameter. On 7th Nov, 2008 Nic said:

you can T into the boost signal for the pressure regulator and plumb it into the carb somewhere to try and sort out fuelling problems I believe. On 11th Feb, 2015 robert said:
