Where can i install oil return lines from a turbo to motor?

I am trying to install a turbo but i dont know where to install the oil return line i heard you can return it to the valve cover is this true and if not is there another way?Where can i install oil return lines from a turbo to motor?
Yes just put a tap into the valve cover, the oil pumps oil upto the valves to keep them lubricated and the oil runs back down through motor to the oil pan, so that is the prefered place to put a oil return line.Where can i install oil return lines from a turbo to motor?
I would suggest returning it to the top side of the oil pan closest to the turbo charger. I believe this is the best place for hot ';used'; oil to go. Be sure you don't run the line close to the manifolds or anything the line could rub on.
There are several ways to do this





1. Tap and weld a fitting into the valve cover





2.Tap and weld a fitting into the oil pan.





3.Fabricate a oil tank for the the system. that doesnt share engine oil
