Default turbo oiling question

i am a noob when it comes to turbo's. i do not want to run a return/feed line out of my oil pan. can i run a seperate oil tank, scavaging pump and an oil cooler??? if i can, do you think a 2qt oil tank will give it enough time to get cool enough to recycle back through the turbo???

I just fabbed up a self contained oiling system for my rear mount twins.... i am using a gallon alum tank so total capacity was around 5 quarts with all of the braided lines/pumps. The issue i am having with using so much oil was it was not getting hot enough during the winter to burn off the water/humidity so the oil would get milky...... i just changed the oil and went back with only two quarts so i can report back with my results shortly..... i don't have any experience with this system during the hot months as i just finished this project. Best of luck

It does have a breather/vent on the tank into a catch-can.... the catch-can will accumulate water from the oil tank..... This is coming from the oil tank as the oil tank and catch-can are located inside of the car.
