when fitting my turbo at the wknd the oil return pipe popped out of the block i didnt notice until id fitted the v clamp and water lines etc. i had to bend it slightly to get it to fit as i couldnt be bothered to undo everything again and i didnt fit a new o ring, now its leaking. should the oil return pipe be able to be fitted/removed with the turbo in place. cheers adam

you can't bend it mate lol and it needs a gasket at the top end and a seal at the bottom end it will push in with a sort of pop when it's seated right

only bent it a little bit lol, i had to so it would fit. it seems like it should be fitted before the turbo etc is bolted up as i couldnt get it to fit. i done the top gasket gotta get the bottom one now. what should it be boosting at?

If/when you bend it mate the round end that goes into the block deform's and goes slightly oval so you will never get a tight seal again, you need another if this has happened and to refit....new seal put the block end in 1st then mate with the turbo, yes can be a bit fidly but dont force it.
