yes another turbo ?

Ok not really a question. I wanna see a good pic of a 12A front cover taped for oil return. I did a search but never seen any good pics. Maybe a pic with the motor out of the car. Or even a front cover not even on a car but taped. Once i get a good pic this will get locked Thanks Nick

I'm assuming you want a tapped, not taped, front cover. I don't know what you'd use masking or duct tape for on the front cover.
