Oil Pump before turbo* Can i put an electrical Oil Scavenge Pump before the turbo so that it pumps oil through the turbo and back to the engine?
Engine-----Oil pump------Turbo------Engine
I am thinking about an electrical Oil Scavenge Pump because i dont wanna run the risk of not pumping enough oil through the turbo.

IMO, that would be foolish. The engine will provide more then enough oil for the turbo. Turbos require very little oil. Also, the oil coming out off the turbo, MUST gravity drain out of the turbo to the pan, or be pumped back to the motor. There CAN NOT be oil pressure on the back side of the bearings in the turbo, or oil will push though the seals and into the turbines.
