I am half way through a project and have encountered a problem mounting a turbo. Due to a lack of space the only way to position the turbo is at a slight angle with the compressor higher than the turbine. I was wondering if this would cause any problems with the oil feed and return? The oil return pipe is roughly 25 degrees off verticle, will I encounter any problems with the oil laying in the bearing and working its way into the exhaust turbine?

Any thoughts greatly received.

Thanks for the info. The whole unit will be at a sight angle, but looking at the oil return pipe there is a slight angle feeding into the pipe so oil wil hopefully drain away and not pool to much.
