Driftmotion 1jzgte single manifold owners chime in - oil return discussion

![Default](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/icons/icon1.gif)
Lets have a discussion, also maybe this thread will serve as a good information when choosing manifolds
I have had this manifold for a good minute now maybe less than a year. The only way to fit a return in this manifold is using a 90 degree -10 an fitting. Did not even think about it till recently my super reliable 4 year old precision turbo started getting shalf play.
Anyone else who had this manifold do anything to put say a 45 degree fitting in? Was thinking a t4 spacer may do the trick
This is not to put driftmotion on blast but I'm severely disappointed after hearing good things about this kit

I found a solution to this that will work getting a 45 degree fitting in there, and this is probably the best you can do I don't see a 30 degree being possible
Here is a close up of the 90 degree fitting there is no fitting anything, pretty poorly designed manifold but I can work with it. I did call driftmotion and their response was we have sold hundreds of these manifolds and no one really has had a problem

So I went and got a 1/2 T4 spacer from my friend Matt at JEI and got some different length and size 45 degree -10 an fittings from another friend. The spacer only cost me $25 and the fittings were free

Using the shortest 45 degree fitting and the spacer and clocking the middle of the turbo about 10-15 degrees I was able to fit the 45 fitting.
Here is some pics of the 90 degree fitting - as you can see the runner is in the way no possible way of getting a straight fitting there

Here it is with the 45 degree fitting and spacer - haven't bolted the turbo on fully yet

Kind of hard to see but here is the turbo senter clocked about 10-15 degree - please correct me if you think this is more than 15 degrees kind of hard to tell. From what I read 15 degrees is about as much you can safety clock it
