When the drain tube connects to the block, the galley in the block is subject to the same size/flow constraints as your drain tube.
I would not use the vac pump drain.
There should be some photos on here somewhere of people using the oil pump cover for a drain.
Have you considered other possibilities like the push rod cover, or straight into the sump?
Do you have the cover plate on your block where the factory turbo motors drain into? (that's what I used)
checkout this thread 4BD1T - set for oil drain etc

I think McBrain was referring to the vac pump oil drain on the NA block which goes straight into the block, not via the dipstick tube.

Ooops..pic went sideways.

Td5 rad plus 2A i/cooler in front with shaped original shroud and booty fabbed cap on top aka a recycled fluoro light cover..with GU Patrol fan unit with adjusted mounting holes and 10mm trimmed blades.

Works really well😚

Sometimes I surprise myself!!!
