How high on the waterline did you put the drain?

Some guys go behind the crank pulley, I put mine on the side. It needs to be above the oil level sensor.

ICT Billet sells modified timing covers with a drain welded to it.
How are they using the timing cover? Is it being hard piped? I've heard of people doing it but I have never seen it, I've only seen people using the oil pan method

Top fitting anywhere from 10-2 is fine. 12 is perfect but not needed in these trucks. As in your pic that line is against the gate.
I would rotate the turbo slight to get line off that very hot source. (Future problem even with wrap )
shorten your hose because that angle I think your oil line need more drop in that frame area. It should not have any level or almost level anywhere until it gets to the pan.
Did you silicone the drain flange on? If so remove that flange and confirm it did not get clogged during installation.
Oil coming out compressor inlet is a huge amount of oil on the discharge side. Once you get that much oil into the system. You will need to remove the Intercooler piping, the Intercooler and clean out. It will take for ever to burn out once you get this fixed.
If it's a Trick drain kit.
It's a -10 push lock hose. Plenty of drainage.
90psi is a huge amount of psi. But you installed a restrictor.

2 turbos with the same problem leads to a drain issue somewhere. Routing to the timing cover is shorter but not needed.
If your in the front of the Ian your above the oil level. Because you are just under the mounting flange.

you can also pull the line off at the engine and check the drainage. But you must keep the line in the same area and same level. Other wise it's not given you a real look.

You give 2 sizes of restrictors.
.030 and .060

one is at the turbo. Where's the other one?

I understand about the drain against the gate, plan is to move it out of the way, but that's just the tip of the ice burg

The first turbo smoked a bit, but nothing like this freight train, there are 2x restrictors.

.060 is coming right off the oil cooler block off plate
.030 is right at the turbo 90* fitting

No the oil drain is not siliconed on, I use paper gasket supplied with the grain kit

Could that "lazy" loop over the cooler lines be that much "restriction" that the turbo is backing up?

Any flat area slows flow.
The close that flat is the worse it is.

Here is how I did mine. I drilled and taped the pan to 1/2" npt (with it off the truck) and use a few brass nipples and elbows to make sure the rubber hose (nice parker high temp hose, not cheap heater hose or whatever) had as vertical of path as possible. A better option would be to weld on a bung but I didnt have that ability at the time. This is also slightly behind the turbo so on hard accels the oil will be forced back naturally. If your reentry point is in front of the turbo on hard accels the oil will pool in the line. My drain hose went right behind the motor mount.

Off the turbo I used a 5 or 6" 1/2" pipe straight down to clear the pipes then used an AN fitting to a barb so I could easily remove the drain without cutting it.

Never had a single drain or smoking problem.

As mentioned earlier, run your drain line straight down into a temporary catch pan and see if it still smokes.

This is the current location of the oil pan drain. Any one having any issues issues using this location?
