hey guys, where would people suggest an oil return line for a supercharger be plummed?

hoping to do this tomorrow, just unsure of where the return should go.

plan was to take the feed out of the block, where the pressure or temo sender switch is? with a t piece.
as said above just need to know where i should be go.

Most people put a plate and return hose onto the old mech fuel pump hole...

It's not an SC12 is it?

They have there own oil, if breather pipe is properly connected they don't use any oil, and the oil stay nice and great for ages, and when you feel like changing you can syringe the old out, and pour some new in. No big deal at all.

If it's not then disregard everything I've said (or rather typed). :)

Would you not plumb it back to the sump and let gravity drain it??

From memory you have to be careful plumbing it back into the sump - you must ensure the drain pipe is above the sump level, which is why the fuel pump hole would be a good option (assuming you have one).

Agree - in lieu of the fuel pump hole, use the sump!
