Just a couple random thoughts... I would not drain into the valve cover because the hot water in the head will not help cool the oil nor will the hot oil do anything to cool the water. Most mfr. run it down to the pan or into the block above the pan, where it can be cooled by the return oil from the oil cooler. Second, I would tap the main gallery as close to the oil pump as possible, with as large a feed line as possible, for maximum oil flow. This is the only way that the turbo gets any cooling. If you are stingy with the oil, the bearing on the turbine end will cook the oil into carbon and cause more problems. Third, prime the installed turbo until there is no question that the bearings are flooded with oil before starting. Picture to give idea of oil flow requirements on a 400 cu. in. Ford.
