Forced Induction Vortech Oil Return Line.

[Gearbanger 101]

Does anyone know how much pressure the oil return line of the V1/V2 blowers is under?

I ask because after feeding the line up behind the smog pump as directed in the instal instructions, it looks like it take a pretty sharp bend, right off the blower, kinking the line some. It isn't so bad that it collapses the line, cut it does narrow it out a little at the bend. I won't be too worried if this line isn't under a tremendous amount of pressure (considering the size of the "needle" in the feed line), but if it is I worry about it backing up in the system.

Any input would be appreciate here's a pic of the line as it comes off my blower....

My guess is the return line can't be under much pressure as it's there to drain the oil back into the pan. If it were highly pressurized, that would be adding pressure to the pan, gasket, etc. I'd be more concerned about the flow of oil back to the pan than the pressure.
