Twin Turbo Drain Tubes

I making my own twin turbo set up and was wondering would the factory drain would work if I weld a Y on to it and have both turbos drain into the factory oil drain?

on my 1st set of twins i did this and it worked fine. you just have to make sure that you have enough slope on your drain line so the oil doesnt back up. on my 2nd set of twins i built, my bottom turbo was to low to t into the existing line so i had to tap into my oil pan which seems to be working good so far. it all depends on how you are going to biuld your setup to where you have to run your drain line.

i would just stick with the hx 55 i love it. it is perfect for the hp these little ol ve pumps put out. im makeing 407hp and my egts never got over 800 on the dyno and towing a 25' gooseneck with a backhoe they never get past 1100*. i honestly cant see the need to any bigger with a bottom turbo.

why are you and stackx2 only using pods and not going with some custom injectors that make better power and get better milage and make less heat?i had pods and sold them to buy my studs and im going to something better.
