said it before, I'll say it again. GM's Factory sponsored race cars are the Sunfire with a 600hp ecotec, and the cavalier with the 1000hp ecotec, both using heavily built 4t65e-HD's.
If ya wanna stay 4t45, call Danny's Transmissions in Killeen TX, and I doubt you'll put enough HP out of your ecotec to blow that one.
Also, in order to get around the problem of the oil return line, then "clock" your turbo. Your mount flange is from the turbine housing. Most turbos that are worth a crap can rotate the center section a few degrees (but not far) so your oil lines dont interfere with the tranny cables.
Make sure that the inlet line is as close to top (12 o'clock) as possible so you dont starve the bearings, and ensure that the return line has as straight of a route as possible back to the oil pan, and you should be fine.
Lastly, you may have to put a pressure restriction valve inline from your oil source to the turbo so you dont "overpressure". Common problem alot of people dont think of till it's too late and have to buy a new turbo.
