Reclock the turbo a bit so the line will be away from the wastegate. I wouldnt want that line touching it since the wastegate gets hot.

Thought about it but aint the turbo suppose to be 90 dregree up? Or a few degrees off will be ok?

A few degrees wouldnt hurt, as long as it doesnt impede it from draining by gravity down back into the oil pan.

Thanks. I Moved it about 2 degrees and it sits about half an inch away. That should be enough clearance
