Glad you got home safe dude! Umm, I dunno about your drain tube. Remove the WG? There's gotta be an answer on here somewhere....

im running a non gated 12cm housing, unless youve got large injectors, you can remove the linkage, and tie the valve closed, my housing has no provision for the gate.

Ok so I've pulled the turbo back off the truck to look at some other options. Now if the carage is turned it will clear the oil drain ans will work. But I have never seen one like this before

I got it all put on last night. I don't think the HX35 was not off a truck. It had the wrong wg bracket. So I took off the wg and wired it shut lol and boy will that turbo lite!! Not pushing it to hard I pulled 30psi easy.

I will post new pic of the engine bay a little later lol
