the sts system just uses a nomal oil feed off the main oil gallery. because the pipe is only very small internally it does not hold much oil and is very quickly op to pressure.
they do however use a pump to "scavenge" the oil and put it back in the sump..
my turbo is only going to be out the back of the car approx 2 to 3 feet away from the head/exhaust ports so no where as extreem as the sts system that puts the turbo in place of the back box of a front engined car.
it also seems that lag is all about sizing the turbo to aplication and so a turbo further away should be smaller in comparison to the conventional.
and because of the little extra heat loss of the exhaust gasses then a diesel turbo is within its working heat range!?
this is all approximations really and as with most things "its never as easy as that!"
but fek it I'm gonna give it a go.
innovate rather than immitate and all that..
when it all ends in tears i can post a "I WAS COMPLETELY WRONG!" post but until then I'm just gonna cary on.. !!
