I am putting my $100, yes $100 intake to exhaust tip, Banks turbo together for the Suburban. I am missing about four items and one is the plate that mounts behind the fuel pump for the turbo oil drain. Does anyone have a picture of this thing so I can see which angle the tube needs to come out?
Here is a picture to show its real and we all like pictures.
Thanks!

Have you asked @AgDieseler yet? Or @KirsL?
 
That's one hell of a score you got for a 100 bucks! You're lucky to find just the manifold for that price.

The oil return are you looking for the one that retains the stock mechanical lift pump? Or the one that replaces it?

I looked through my pictures and don’t have any of the adapter plate for the oil drain. Are you trying to figure out which way the plate goes on or the tube from the compressor housing?
 
Sorry, I’m sleep deprived. I re-read your question. the plate goes on so the inlet on said plate is aimed directly at the compressor housing. The oil return tube comes down from the compressor at an angle to it and they are connected with a silicone hose and two hose clamps. Mine did not line up very well and I had to massage the outlet tube into place so they lined up better.
 
I run an electric pump so I will weld a tube to the plate. I want the angle the tube comes out so I can get it close without a mockup. I’m in a townhouse in DC so I have limited time and space to get this on.
 
I called Banks to see if they still sold the few parts I need to complete this install and they do.
Exhaust crossover $178 shipped
Oil drain plate that goes behind the fuel pump $124
7 exhaust nuts $81
7 washers $15
7 studs $15.

I wanted to go with their parts, but good grief! $124 for a small block chevy fuel pump block off plate withe a tube welded in it! The pipe was $136 before shipping which I would have paid to save a day tracking down someone that can bend tubing without kinks, but the $40 in shipping killed me. This is an old engine with a turbo they don't make any more, but these small parts are what stop projects, and why we make our own parts. The OMAX waterjet should be hooked up soon, so that will cover all my flat parts. Rant over.
 
I have a 6.2 with a turbo added. I think the oil return is different, I will get a picture tomorrow. Might help.

They still make the kit, they just make them to order now. I got mine brand new last year from summit racing. $124 for that fuel pump plate is robbery. The $40 in shipping I can kind of understand. Shipping prices have gotten stupid everywhere.
 
I believe this is the part you need, even though it calls it a tube. In my manual the pump plate and the oil drain tube have just this one part number. May be worth a call to summit if you are interested, I don’t know if the free shipping makes it worthwhile for you or not.

Wait till you price the air filter and lower rad hose. Both are proprietary, along with the driver side downpipe to manifold exhaust basket. They are proud of their shit...
 
Not a banks, but the general idea...

I've seen them done with AN connections also.
