turbo oil return/dump - slight pressure ok???

Hey guys
Just got my S5 hybrid T60-1 fitted, It took 2 gaskets, a 3mm spacer sandwiched between the gaskets (mani to turbo) ending up with 0.5mm clearance between the comp housing and the inlet manifold after a bunch of filing on both items.
Anyway, Im going to run a hose as the turbo drain line and i think it might sag, causing oil to pool at the bottom and possibly create some pressure. Will this be ok?????

Oil pooling at a low spot in the return line will not cause any more pressure on your return line. You will be fine.

It may leak. Only way to test is to run the engine.

Make sure to use a high temp hose, and that the hose does not kink.

You should be fine.

Im using good hose, dont worry, Im more concerned if the hose actually goes beloow the engine end and it not only pools but fills the line,
I guess gravity should sort it out tho right. As it enters the line it will cause the oil to flow into into the sump. Should be fine =)
