turbo oil plumbing question

Is there a way to tap the oil pan for an oil drain line without having to drop the oil pan. I'm paranoid about metal flakes in my oil pan causing a future issues with either the oil pump or main bearings. I tried the hondamethod of a sandwich plate but my oil pressure spike causing a ton of blow by at the turbo. Any ideas would be a big help.

im no expert on turbo plumbing, but im pretty sure you have to drop the pan. if you do that, there shouldnt be any worries about metal shavings, as long as you clean it and put new oil in the car.

if your worried about metal shavings, dont take the lazy route. take the oil pan off. your better off doing it right the first time.

Don't take the risk, take your time and do it right the first time, so you dont have to worry about getting those chips in your motor, that would be hell on your cylender walls
