Well you couldn't route the oil return any better than what I did now. It is flowing down hill now with no horizontal area in the line anywhere.
I asked AAM to cut the line shorter when they re-routed the oil line to fit the wastegate in, and I also asked CP Racing the shorten the line when they installed the kit. No one did anything.
Should I check anything else before I call it a turbo seal ????? Am I missing something ????

Sorry to post on your thread, but I am having my Turbonetics installed in about 10 days, should I have them shorten the oil line? Why would that be necessary, is it a defect from the manufacture?

My oil return line is an aftermarket line that plumbs into my AAM oil pan spacer for the return so I did not have to drill into my engine block. You may want to consider doing the same.

^+1....Tapping the upper pan is the ONLY thing that makes this kit not 100% reversible. If you install a pan spacer and ever decide to sell the car, you can strip the kit off and nobody would ever know it was there. There is also some risk involved with drilling/tapping a hole in the side of the upper pan. If you screw it up and have to replace the upper pan (as one or two folks have had to do), it involves removing the engine or dropping the whole front suspension.

I am trying to find the spacer on aam site but couldnt find it. What did you pay for it. Will the still spacer work for this, or is it not thick enough ?

The AAM, and the JWT spacer come drilled for the oil return. The AAM pan spacer is nicer because it is CNC machined (not cast), and comes with the oil return line.
Call AAM tomorrow. The link to their site is in my signature below. I think they are ready to ship these. I think it was $250 or some sh*t.

Well hopefully the stillen will do fine. I just ordered it due to it only being 99 dollars, same as the JWT. But JWT doesn't have regular online shopping cart checkout and stillen does. JWT's site says there spacer is not drilled, unless it comes with there kit.

I called Turbonetics, and spoke to Reggie. He is having a new turbo sent to me to replace the one with the suspected blown seal. He is sending the new turbo at his expense and sent it to arrive on Monday. I thought that was really nice of him. I'm a happy TN owner !!!! Thanks Reggie.
