Unless you have a 2.2
Easiest way to return oil
Here's mine
It's not ghetto
Not only is it easier, it's better b/c you don't have a 90 degree bend anywhere in the return line
You take one bolt out, remove the dip stick, weld on a small half inch piece of pipe and wa-la, simple return line fitting that dumps straight back into the oil pan. No mess, less time, and no gasket and other stuff you have to replace.
Plus, I don't want to weld anything else into my new moroso oil pan
yeah i wish the 2.4 woulda had a dipstick like the 2.2 and by the exhaust like the 2.2 is
us 2.4and eco would have life alot easier
Hey now I'm talkin about movin it b/c your manifold, on 2.2l's we gotta relocate it a little to the drivers side. I'll post pics of mine tomorrow. oh yah my oil return is in the dipstick too

the 2.4 and eco dipstick tubes it wouldnt be abenifit to put it in the dip stick , they are to small to allow the turbo to drian fast enough
Here's mine, I cut off each end of the dipstick tube then bent 14" of conduit at the correct angle, then welded the dipstick tube ends to the conduit, fabbed the mounting brackets out of 1" wide strip metal, beadblaster and painted.

don't be a smart ass
you can not run your oil return through your dip stick
that post shows how to run your return line, I figured I'd show you it since you are new and learning how to do your turbo setup
yikes sorry no inttetion to offend just wondering if any one had tried it and you brought me there wich didn't awnser the question I understand that I have to go throw the block or the pan just wondering if there was another way?

Well if you would read a few posts up:

no, I understand but Im thinking maybe with a tube swap it could work. but for that amount of work you could probably just tap the pan. still interested if anyone has tried.
"

Yeah, but why swap out dip sticks when you can tap the block. Hell the Eco was cast for a boost engine and has the location for it on the back of the block. Its pointless to swap tubes when you have a place ready to tap right there.
I can understand why the 2.2 guys do it I guess, but if you can do it right then do it that way even if it is a little tougher.

Buy stuff from CarCustoms Ebay! Won't be disappointed!
hmm, its an easy call to me. gm engineers designed the ecotec for boost. as you see with the Cobalt SS and the Ion Redline. I'd tap the block bro. looks like the best way to do it. A new pan gasket is what $8-$10? But, what do I know,I gots a 2.2l ohv.
