Well... the other issue is that to get the drain line just TO that area on the timing cover, I'd have to run the drain line line down, under the supercharger, than back up 1-2 inches, so it totally negates the use of a gravity drain.

Its either into the pan, or a scavenge pump.

Edit: I think Ive decided to go with the turbowerx pump. its $250 or $400 depending on the model. For my application, even the 250 buck one will work great. I could not find any reports of obscure Turbowrex pump failures. All reviews come up as very positive again and again. People use them to replace the included pumps in STS turbo kits. I can also wire up and alarm to the pump line to alert me if anything should happen and the oil stops flowing. Then I'll just have the return go up into the driver side valve cover after putting a fitting into that.

heres the $400 one...
