Need help on Turbocharging a 318

Hmm okay so a fuel pump block off plate can be tapped and used for the drainage.. So what if i weld the fittings in at an angle would that be ok? The finished pan looks sweet mad dart. I guess if its for a good reason then it works! Looks pretty good too.. If i plan on running twins in the future would i be able to run two lines to the fuel pump block off plate or would it be better to run it to a deep sump pan ? Or is that over kill? Thanks and great pictures.

You would have a hard time putting 2 drains on the Fuel Pump Plate. Reason is the other turbo will be on the other side and it would not drain properly. You could put 1 there and then tap the other side of the timing cover. Be careful though you want to make sure they drain sufficiently. That is why I ran mine where I did, they drain very well. You don't need a Deep Sump pan. You can do the mod I did on a stock pan. Main thing is you want those drain backs at least 1" above the oil level in the pan.

Thinking about it some more, your Alternator will most likely will be in the way to drain back to the fuel pump plate. On a single set up you could get away with it and move the alternator to the other side. On a dual set up you would have the same problem so the drains where I have put mine would most likely be the easiest place to put them.
