Hm, I tried that route without any luck. At the bottom the end of the return line it wouldnt go anywhere near the flange on the oil pan. What turbo is on that?
The only way the line got close to the flange was if I turned it around 180' but then it wouldn't clear at the top with the exhaust manifold.
Wonder if it has something to do with the position of the center part of your turbo. Clocking the turbo might have worked.

I think I'm going to go the other route, now that I have committed. I have the turbo and everything on, and torque to spec. So it will stay there until I get a rear mount that allows me to run it this way.

It's a stock 1.6 T3 from a 1983 Jetta.

Did you have to modify the line at all to clear the rear mount.

No modifications were required. That is the factory designed return line and oil pan.
