Forced Induction - Is the stock oil pump going to be good for twin turbos?

I was thinking it will be because most of the potential oil pressure is bypassed anyways with a stock engine but then I started thinking about the low RPM range, is it going to be able to keep a good supply of oil to all bearings and parts and stuff punching it off the line? I'm sure you guys will know, Thanks

What year is your car. If it has the LS6 pump, it MIGHT suffice. But why not spend the $150 for cheap insurance?

Oil pressure is the lifeblood of your engine. Don't skimp.

Is this a joke topic?

If you think $150 is too much money, how do you live with yourself paying the thousands twin turbos cost?

And to save $150, you'll install twin turbos and not use them?

Still on my stock pump now. No oil pressure issues so far and over 4,000 miles on the set-up.

I am using a ported LS6 oil pump with the upgraded spring inside for higher pressure and better flow! So far so good!
