Possible supplemental oil pressurization.
Where would you feed the turbo &/or a bypass filter from? What would be your source of pressurized oil without robbing the block of anything?
Would it be possible or feasible to add a sump to the oil pan with a 12 volt pump to feed the turbo and bypass filter? Possibly running through the bypass to the turbo and back to the pan.
You answered your own question. That is exactly what I am thinking of doing except depending on how much through-put I get I might go to the block oil galleries for more pressure with at least some of the flow.
The nice thing is I could pre-oil the turbo and engine by energizing the pump prior to starting.
the other nice thing is that if I lose the turbo, I don't have to worry about losing the motor.
This sounds interesting, please keep us updated, I am extremely interested in an additional oil pump.
