Ats 085 valley pan grommet work around

[Austin86250]

I needed a new valley pan grommet for my ats 085 kit but turns out they do not make them anymore
So I hope I can save someone else the headache in the future

There are 2 options I have found

1. Have a machine shop turn the part that goes into the valley pan from the 085 kit to fit Into the 093 grommet I was quoted 100$
The ends are just barbs so from there you can get a new hose and 093 grommet and be on your way

2. You can buy a turbo oil drain from CDD or R AND D that will jb weld into you oil pan that will give you a 1/2NPT female thread
Pair that with a corresponding 5/8” barb on that

T3/t4 (they are interchangeable) oil drains are readily available and universal I was able to find one that has a 5/8” barb built in

From there you just use a rubber hose rated for 350 degrees or more and be on your way

1st picture is of the factory 085 oil drain with the 093 grommet above

Other pictures are for the second option

I tried to use stainless AN but there wasn’t enough length to work with to be able to do that

Anybody, ever tried to use the 088 drain with the 085?

They are extremely diffent

I realize they are completely different. With both using the same compressor housing and same intake hat, doesnt the cartridge have to be in the same location? I have one somewhere, I will try to find and mock up.
I hate dealing with that stupid hose on the 085.

Now that you say that you may be only something, my experience all be it brief with the 088 the turbo itself looks identical minus the piping and turbine housing
