The line that the oil return goes onto, not on the turbo, but on the block side, mines like Bent or somthing, i dunno, but its pushing out my DIS plug and ii needa bend it back over, what connects it to the oil pan? is it frail? Can i just push it over slowly and bend it back?

It has a little bit of bendability.. but BE CAREFUL. VERY slowly move it, and not too much. I fucked mine up pretty good on the TGP but then again I used a crowbar to pry it out of the way so I could get a better look at the newly formed hole in my block.

From what I can tell/remember, it's only attached by two studs on the side of the oil pan. They're NOT bolts that go all the way through.

no no, the plugs ok, its that the oil return hard line pushed against the top of DIS/ICM plug latch and pushes the thing out, i  zip tied it for now, seems to be working
