On this particular engine it's not possible. The aftercooler actually sits
in the intake so there is no way to catch the oil "before" it drains into
the manifold. Also, the manifold is integrated into the engine block "Vee"
and there are no taps anywhere low enough that would allow that.

That actually was our first idea, until we looked closer.

Thanks though,
Richard
