My MX5 turbo (HSK kit) blocks off the dip stick and uses the hole for the
return, on these engines the turbo is higher than the head.

Subject: [Quantum Owners] Re: Turbo Oil Return
Thanks guys. Thought you'd cracked it Jim, so went to look and then
realised this is right where I've hacked away to get the starter in to
mate to the Type 9 box. Still thee are plenty of other bosses around
the alloy sump housing. Will have a look this weekend, but right now
I am leaning towards using the standard Zetec breather assy with a
turbo return boss welded on on the side where the separated oil runs
back into the sump. The aperture is so much larger than the turbo
return pipe, that I can't imagine it getting swamped, the flow from
the oil separating out from the breather can't be that great and there
is a guard on the breather to prevent splash from the crankshaft. I
may well put a contingency boss on the sump just in case!! The key
decision is whether to take the breather outlet to a catch tank, but
am not sure of the benefit. I guess if I do that though, it will
provide a more visible warning of any problems and I don't want the
risk of sending any oil through to the plenum!! Opinions always
welcome.
regards
Nigel
