The vnt turbo doesn't like it that much, but its your only option other than a scavenge pump

Hey Sam,

Some other bits you'll need to make life easier are;

Oil return spigot to bolt into the JX sump (if applicable) - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/231484468968? ... 26_rdc%3D1

Some hose to fit onto it - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/360912091256? ... 26_rdc%3D1

Cut the hose off the new turbo return pipe and fit the other end of that hose onto there too...

Blanking plug for the old oil return on the AFN - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Universal-M18 ... 1a05af8d6b

Last but not least, definitely don't forget one of these, as you don't want to ruin your gearbox input bearing.

Spigot bearing for the end of the crankshaft - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/191158294692? ... 26_rdc%3D1
