No Drill Oil Turbo System

The system that hahn uses so that you dont need to drill your oil pan...is this possible with the ZZP kit? Can you custom fab it easily? Drilling my pan is what scares me the most about going turbo...

It's a fail design. Just do it right. Take pan off. Drill and weld a bung on. Re install pan. Why do people make it out to be a big deal?

So you're telling me you know no one that welds, or that there are NO welding shops within a 20 mile radius?

Very hard to believe.

i don't know about you but i don't feel comfortable relying on a vacuum supply to drain the oil back under the fill level

No tap system is ******* garbage. It seems like more work to install and there is mre lines runnign everywhere. just tap the pan. I even have a spare pan sitting at my house with a bung welded on it

I don't. I think tapping the pan or tapping the block is a much better idea. But I have not really seen much information on it. And I have searched pretty hard in the past.

It's all about the quality of the parts...
Recall that APS uses a scavenge pump 'no drill' system for all of their GTO, and Corvette twin turbo applications, and have had pretty good success.

With that said, tapping is a far less complicated system, with less room for error or failure.
IMO, tapping the pan is 'ok'... tapping the block is better.

Ha mostlikely I just kno every tapless system I've seen there's almost always that black smoke coming from under the car when they hit boost because of oil back up in the turbo and pushing out the turbo seals
