Message	but on upgraded turbos, I dont like the idea of a spacer with 2 gaskets attached to a hardline, fitted to the smaller drain hoses with 2 clamps at the end. Thats 4 points of possible leak points from turbo to pan. With a thick port off the turbo, attached to a single silicone hose to the pan, thats one gasket and 2 clamps, making it one less leak point. If the new fluorine liners work as intended, I dont see why this isnt a nice cheap alternative.
