there should be a spot on the se frontcover by the oil metering pump that is perfect for an oil return. Just drill it out and tap it.

oil return and oil feed.

The front cover is ok.. but perferably you would want the oil to drain back into the oil pan with the inlet as close to the top of the pan as possible.
For the oil feed into the turbo.. you can either use this part from Racingbeat or Racingbeat
This is the one I used.
Hope this helpz.

DON'T DO IT TO THE OIL PAN, unless you want it to leak and smoke, as well as be very inefficient.

Mount it on the front cover of any 84/85 engine (12A or 13B). That is where it is SUPPOSED to go on the 12A Turbo and every other OEM Rotary Turbo engine from Mazda.




There is a dimple right on it just for you to tap it an put a nice -10AN fitting.

It's up to you. If you already have the Carb, a blow-through Turbo swap will yield plenty of power with less headaches. Definately less than trying to wire in a TII ECU, and probably more power.

Now, if you were talking about a stand alone ECU, that would be different.
