I've always heard turbo's need to be mounted within 15 degree of vertical to drain properly. Best I can tell mine would be very near vertical, as I am using a custom manifold.
I did notice that if i sprayed brake clean in the oil inlet of the turbo it wouldn't drain out, I had to blow it though. I know there is some tight tolerances, but I would have assumed that something thin like brake clean would have ran right through it. I am going to put the turbo back in and stick a bucket under the oil return, then run it for 10 seconds. Apparently most journal bearing turbo's flow ~2L min, I'm curious to see if I'm getting something close to that.
Other than that I, I'm kinda stumped. If anyone has any other suggestions or things to check, I'm all ears! Still waiting for Malone to get back to me about some boost logs, maybe he will have some insight.
