Hang on, you're all talking as though the oil drains out of the turbo using gravity? Isn't it pumped through? In which case the angle of the pipe work does little to aid flow, but it's probably not wise to have 90 degree turns either.

[Gremlin]

Most turbos do actually rely on gravity, theres no point in making seals etc better that will jut wear more if you can let it drian out, you can get electric scavenger pumps to pump the oil back into the sump, normally for if your turbo is towards the rear of the car
