    Default oil feed question

    ive already got my turbo hooked up and oil flows through it like it should,i think. i was woundering if i have the drain and feed hooked up right.
    there is a small threaded hole on one side and a larger hole the size of a dime that a flange bolts to. im using the smaller hole for oil input and the one with the flange as a oil return. does this sound right? how can i be sure?

    so the larger hole is the input and the little tiny hole is the drain.i figured the smaller hole was the input because it was such a small hole and the other one was much larger i thought it was the drain. so how would i know if its hooked up right? i have had the car running a few times. oh and this a xs power cheap turbo. and its oil cooled no water fittings.

    the big hole is for the drain.

    i've had 6 turbo cars, 2 borg warners and 4 garretts. on all of them the big hole drained straight into the oil pan. obviously ask the manufacturer, but thats been my experience.

    some of the turbo feed have flanges because the hole bolt holes are not tapped.
