What if (rear mount) Im thinking of STS rear mount on my bird since it fast on /off the car
And I can retain AC…stock every thing…
But what im reading is the hassle with the oiling the turbo
All the way to the back of the car.
And thought of a separate oil reservoir and electric pump
Since the turbo will not get that hot in the firs place.
Im new to the boost community and don’t know if some one did this
Or any harm in doing it?

You would need 1 pump to feed the turbo, then another pump on the return side to pump it back into the resevoir.
You would also need to regulate the pressure going into the turbo from the feed pump.

i would think that making a complete separate oiling system would be more of a hassle than feeding from motor. i have front mount turbo with exapump for return, and feed coming from the block off plate above oil filter. wasnt hard, for rear mount you should just need longer lines.

If the return oil is not pumped out, it will seep around the seals and smoke out the exhaust. If it's not pumped in, you wont have enough pressure to provide adequate lubrication. This is why you'd need 2 pumps. You could probably get away without a cooler since the oil isn't running thru the motor.
