    Lots of people do a AN setup so it threads on the turbo and the oil pan.

    Me, I just use a piece of rubber hose. I took an old shift linkage, cut it, drilled a hole, and welded it on. It was very simple, quick, and works just fine.

    Sorry I have no pics, but I did weld it in a way that my hose is only 2" long.

    I'm running a B20 therefore my pan is steel. It's actually the pan I had on my B16 before I changed to the B20.

    You can't weld steel to aluminum anyways.

    ^ You beat me to it. The only disadvantage to this is that if you're not spot on, they have tendancy to leak a little. Otherwise, they work just fine for not being welded on.
