You'll need to carefully route your premix line from the tank to the RA adapter to make sure engine vibration doesn't cause it to rub against anything, but this is easily do-able with some strategically placed zip ties.
^I WAS WRONG!!! I should have tried to fully torque down the bolts on BOTH sides of the turbo oil return pipe when I test fit it earlier this week. Turns out it DOES interfere - you can bolt up the front cover side, but when you try to line up the bolts & torque down the flange on the turbo side, it's not going to happen. The bend on the stock pipe by the front cover flange interferes with the MOP. So now I need to order some flanges and some AN line & fittings to get this done.
