Oil return tanks for aftermarket turbos

What are the options for buying the oil return tanks to work with say a Garrett or precision aftermarket turbos? Or do the stock tanks happen to bolt up?

I think there could be a big grey area with the terminology. I don't think that a normal garret or precision will bolt up properly. I could be wrong, but be safe and double check.

Most people's experience are with tial turbos which have been designed to fit our cars.

Just a thought!

You can modify the flange on the stock tanks to make them work with the garrett turbos.

They work but you have to do slime Cnc work - it also depends on what turbos.
Here is a flange we weld on to make them for out ski850 turbos.

We fitted much larger hotsides on some 3076's and the tanks would no longer fit as they would butt up against the snail before sealing so we just made some small spacers and used 2 gaskets.

Whatever you do, make sure you preserve the tanks, some new vendor turbo offerings seem to think you can just remove them and attach AN return line lol...
