i just got my front cover back form the machine shop. they did one hell of a job adding my turbo oil return line. check it out.



it looks damn near stock

soon i can drop my motor in and start working on all the wires.. im hoping to get this thing running again with in a month that would be nice.

 

Cant see it

 

Which one was machined?

 

the one on the right is from a 12a

 

oh, you added a stock s4 or s5 oil return

cool.

 

Pic still seems invisible. Or maybe I need some glasses.

 

ok can you see this one?



?

 

hmnmm the first one i posted is smaller from some reason. wonder why. imagestation maybe?

 

Do you have a pic of a stock NA one for comparison?

 

I can see the pic a couple posts above this one.

 

here is a pic DF put up a few weeks ago when i asked where people put there oil return lines this one is just drilled out. that hole is normaly shut he opend his up for an oil return



maybe some one has pic of just a stock one i dont have one

 

So they made hole and welded som aluminum to make the 2 holes for the flange?

 

right click on the first pix, then show pix.

 

It should just be drilled out and tapped, then thread in the oil fitting.

 

That what I would've done. Seems a little easier.

 

wow thats nice! i jus tdrilled and tapped mine, but yours looks like it will work perfectly!!!!

 

Nice job. I like the way you are going to be able to mount like a stock turbo drain. I never would have thought to do it that way.

My cover doesn't have metal formed the way yours does, was that welded on or something?

to tell you the truth thats what i thought the machine shop was going to do. i went down there with both front covers and told them that the hole needed to be drilled out and fitted for an oil return line. i only brought the other one because it was in my car.

so i guess the guy thought i wanted it to replicate the other front cover and thats what he did. i like it this way.

yes it was welded on. that front cover looked just as yours dose,the guy added metal, and added the screw holes, then just drilled out the center main hole.

 

Sweet,... I just did mine last week.

thats what I call good service. Some shops wont even do that. Did you tip the guy at least?

 

So what did they charge you? Looks great.

 

it would be considered a lot compaired to just taping and threading, it was $50

 

Damn you got a great deal if you got all that for $50.00!!!

I had to have a motor shaft key way re cut and it was $75.00

Man that is dirt cheep

 

Is the stock t2 oil return line threaded into the front cover? I have a gslse front cover, all I have to do is drill out the hole and tap it, then screw in the oil return line from the t2 correct? I can post a pic of the gslse front cover if anyone is interested.

 

no its not threaded. it has a flange the uses 2 12mm screws that hold it on with a small gasket. see the big hole and the 2 smaller holes above and below it? those are the screwholes that hold the flange on.

if you were to drill and tap the big hole you would have to make a new oil return line as well to fit that hole.
