Default oil drain place question

Looking for a place to put the turbos drain. the kit is a pt88 front top mount. I really didnt wanna pull the pan off to put it there and have heard the front cover isnt the greatest. Has anyone tried to remove the oil sending unit and just put the return there? maybe a dumb question but seemed like an idea?
thanks!!

Iv seen some put it on the timing chain cover, but that might be just as much work to pull??.

are you 2wd? if you are pulling the pan is pretty easy, 4wd is a different story.

Wouldnt that be pressurized? Just put it in the front of the pan, its no problem at all on a 4wd.

Are you talking about the oil level sender on the side of the pan? I installed my return there. So far no problems but I have not done a full pull yet.

Dont use that, you need the drain to be above the oil level in the pan or it will back up to the turbo and blow through the seals.
