Tell me if this looks okay! 60-1

Hey ya'll so I'm in the process of finishing up (you know how that goes) my 60-1 hifi setup on my fc. haltech e6k, fpr, 720/1600

Anyways! this is my first aftermarket turbo setup and I just wanted to make sure my oil feed and oil return lines wouldn't be a problem. The oil feed has a pretty nice bend and on the return I know oil probably doesn't like to go uphill! Even though it's very minor I just wanna be sure, and be safe!

Will these flow and work just fine?

It's certainly not ideal. Would be nice if you could shorten the return hose by an inch or so to take out the part that's laying so low.

Get a boot on that steering rack too!

Not ideal at all. I was just gonna try to get the car idling today so I didn't want them to cause a problem. Does anyone have pics of their setup that works?

Will these work for the time being?

It'll work for the time being, try to shorten the return as suggested since the return is a gravity drain. The feed is fine.

Oil drain lines are very tedious to make because it requires tight fitment. Take a small amount off at a time. It may take two or three tries to get it right.
