Vanagon 50º K14 drain angle

Just get a hold of a JX exhaustmanifold and cut-weld a special tool to loosen  the nut so you can turn the turbo... with the Jetta manifold you need to custom make the left engine mount to get room for the turbo. At that level of modding its a shame to not install a holset at once!

I don’t know what a “chingus” is but in my neck of the words chinga has a special meaning!

Seriously, I imagine you mean the bent-out-of shape pipe. You presumably install it while the turbo is in pieces.

I measure the original JX metal pipe at less than 3/8 (21/64 to be exact), while AN6 measures at exactly 3/8. Are you saying I may need AN8 (½”ID) to get proper drainage? How much oil flows through the bearing, anyway?

Your chingus pipe, is it the bent original drain pipe pictured above or a NPT pipe with hex nut welded on?

All I'm saying is create no restrictions

Again, it's all about ZERO restrictions in the oil flow. Not only did the banjo bolt cause them, I found that even after removing the banjo and making a new pipe swept elbow chingus, the PO had tigged a #6 AN fitting to the pan. (Note, #6 AN is much smaller than %6 JIC) It was less than 3/8" ID! I ended up welding up the hole where the fitting was and making a new one that was 5/8" ID.

My k03 has a sub-3/8" oil outlet on it. The drain fitting i bought - nipple with flange and gasket - is 5/8.

So this little hole is gonna dump oil into a 5/8" barb, then 5/8" hydraulic hose for about 6 inches, and then into a 5/8 barb to 3/8 npt fitting, and a 3/8" 45 degree, and into the sump.

I Really hope that will work, anyway.

Measure the diameter of the drain hole at the bottom of your K03.  Don't use any component that is a smaller ID than that and you'll be good to go...

All of my fittings are bigger
