You do not need a separate pump. The engine can feed the turbo fine. You can run a restrictor on your inlet fitting to control how much oil the turbo gets. You may try searching the FI section for oil restrictor since there have been threads in the past on this topic or you can always call the company that built your turbo and ask what size restrictor they recommend on the inlet.
