i had a s13 sr redtop with a 2871r. when mounted the oil drain on the turbo doesnt align correctly i tried using a t28 flange but it still doesnt seem like it'd work correctly, like the tubing will still be to kinked. is there a kit to make this fit right? or will the t28 flange work?

i'm running a 71r on my ka-t, and the line was a little kinked. You could just get the taka lines and not worry about it kinking on you.

You can't clock the center section? Turbochargers are a three piece unit, you can rotate each one separately to align properly. I'd try that before getting a custom line or drain hose. Besides, you want it pointing straight down, any angle and oil will pool up inside.
