Default Oil Feed Question -- exhaust housing in the way

I was just putting some of my stuff together today, so I clocked the turbo so it was facing the right way, but when I tried to screw in the oil feed line I ran into a problem. The straight fitting hits the exhaust housing (flange). I don't know if this works, but can I just use a 90 degree fitting on the turbo? I can't remember if I've seen anyone do this (or if you can even do this without any problems). Any confirmation or other suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

umm, most people run the 90° fitting. unless i am confused as to what you are asking. the way you have it in the pic is how most people run it.

okay. I was just worried that it would be too restrictive or something.... I just couldn't rememeber if I had seen it on other people's setups.

Ahh, I see... you get that patented 45 degree gangster lean instead of the uptight 90 degree bend.
