Oil return line

So yesterday I was looking at speed channel, and they were doing twin RMT on a corvette, Well when they were running the return oil lines, they tapped the valve cover and place it there, would that be a possibility with the max? Thanks for your help guys.

If it was a rear mount it would be ok, cuz the oil has a chance to cool down on its way back to the motor. If the turbo is in the front, that super heated oil has a history of burning up the valve assemblies when dumped into the valve cover. This was the reason Custommaxima.com stopped selling the kit they were making. Several people had engine failures.
