Oil return pump

[pork]

Where im thinkimg of putting the turbo now, it may nit give the best oil drainage, it looks a litttle horizontal if you know what i mean, so, I may have to use a oil scavenger return pump, if this is the case, can I return the oil to wherever? Like, maybe even tap into the oil filler plug, or one of the breather ports on the rocker cover?

What pumps are best? What should else should I look out for?

Haha, like it how you have a photo for every question

So I coud be in the clear then.

A return pump can't be that difficult tho? I'm quite handy with wiring stuff up, then it's just a couple of pipes?

Also, if I had a scavenger pump, could I pump it through an oil cooler before it re enters the engine?

its only a trickle tho eh, else you starve the rest of the engine
here,s another pic for you lol, this is the flowrate when you forget to refit the pipe

Yeah, been lightly reading over some off these builds, the mocal pump seems to be the right pump for the job and rated for these temperatures.

Was jus wondering about getting the oil back into engine after the pump
