My Altima got 29/30 highway 
Either way nice setup. Nice and clean, just like my car 
You want the return as low as you can possibly put it, but higher than the oil level. Not doing this causes frothing/foam. Minimal to you, but bad on many ends. Being a track based owner, I can assure you that frothy oil on a long turn causes issues.
Turbo size isn't indicative of good/poor fuel economy, condition of engine and tune are. If anything the car should see better fuel mileage with a smaller turbo due to increased torque and lack of fuel/throttle needed to accelerate. |
I always get a good smile when you layeth the smack down of knowlegde.
