[s-cars] Turbo return line routing (for hybrid turbos)

I'm in the process of gathering parts I'll need for my upcoming RS2 EM,
K26/T3 60 trim upgrade I'm installing on the S6.

I'm going to need to fabricate some oil and water lines for the new turbo
and I believe the oil return line routing may be different than my 10v
setup since the EM sits up what seems to be a bit higher on the head than
the 10v.

Basically I'm tryin to decide if I should go with a 90 or 45 degree hose
fitting on the turbo side of the return line?  On my 10vt I used one 90
degree -12 AN fitting on the turbo and a straight -12 fitting into the
block (the result looked like this when bolted up:

If the height is even an inch higher I might consider using a 45 in place
of the 90 for a straighter hose path.

I don't really want to just buy both given how much -12 AN angled hose
fittings cost...

Thanks!
