Engine almost back together but bottom turbo oil line is
<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/34876/130_0675.jpg"></center><p>almost an inch away from the block. I guess the RS2 manifold changed the turbo location slightly. The top oil line was tight but it reached OK, and the water lines are fine. I'm thinking that I could have an aluminum (or steel) one inch thick spacer machined (same shape as the gasket. Any other suggestions? What kind of pressure is in that line?

no pressure in that line
check the 'clocking' of your turbo. the oil drain line should be pointing pretty much straight down.. maybe thats why its not lined up for you? the rs2 manifold should not affect oil line fitment, since the turbo placement should be the same as the stock EM.

Yup, the clocking was off ever so slightly

That little bit made the difference. Re-adjusted the "clocking" and now it fits nicely. Good call.

Clocking just means the flange on the turbo lines up properly with the flange on the exhaust
manifold. If it was a bit cockeyed to one direction it'd be clocked wrong. Since the oil line comes out from the turbo some distance, a very small error on how the turbo is hooked up cause a noticeable differance where the line connects to the block.
