Default Turbo Oil feed resevoir idea...

are there any remote oil feed style setups on the market.
like with a resevoir that holds maybe a qrt of oil, and recirculate it through the turbo EX. resevoir -> feed line -> turbo -> return line -> resevoir -> feed line...

i hope there is, cause i'd rather buy one than make my own.

You would need some kinda pump to drive that oil. So I highly dobut it's even worth the work. Why do you wanna do this?

i've seen a similar custom setup on someone here local to me. he made it for his turbo Focus.

i like creating new things, and being a lil bit different.

I don't know if you really want to do this for a daily driven car. It's just another thing that could crap out on you. I personally would rather depend on my main oil pump supplying oil to my turbo than some secondary electric one that could burn up, lose a wire or mechanically lock up/break. There's a thread in here somewhere that was created today I think about a guy wanting to do something similar. He wanted to do a completely seperate oiling system just for his turbo. Look around. Should be on the first couple of pages.
