    excess rtv into the oil feed = dunzo turbo...

    I wouldn't recommend using RTV on either. Make sure the both surfaces are dry and clean when you put on the drain adapter and use the normal gasket.

    For tapered pipe fittings (NOT straight thread fittings like tube nuts or AN fittings) use teflon paste.

    Also, WHY ARE YOU SHOUTING??!

    Don't use anything on the feed-line. I've seen bits of teflon plugging up the thrust-bearing feed holes and that's a quick way to ruin the turbo.

    You can use a light film of RTV or go dry on the drain gasket. It usually doesn't leak dry.
