Most people drain it back to the front cover. But if you drill/tap the front cover you probably would want to do it with it off the engine. I kinda screwed myself on this deal because I thought I would just send the oil back to the rear plate (the twin turbo engines have a hole back there for the rear turbo drain) but then I built my manifold and it won't allow me to do it that way So now I think I'm going to have to pull my front cover off again to drill/tap a new hole in it Most people do it right under the OMP.

I'm doing mine right under the OMP. With everything I have taken off(almost everything) I don't see any problem in drilling and tapping it with the front cover still on.
