Default Oil Scavenge setup

Kinda of noob when it comes to big builds I will say. Building my first "real" setup and have some questions. 6.0 swapped new edge mustang running a custom twin 67 turbo setup.

To bring up my first clueless moment, How overkill or effective would you say it is to run 2 pumps, one for each turbo drain and route it back into the bottom of the timing cover?

Ive seen where people Y into one pump but I already have dual drains into timing cover and the extra cost of a pump is not very much.

Thoughts on running this setup instead of using a Y into one pump?

I'd ran the Turbowerx pump for a few years. Problem free, but just the one turbo, one pump. I suppose my only concern would be amp draw with the extra pump. Is your alternator up to the task of feeding two oil pumps, the fuel pumps and the coolant fans plus the normal obligations? Looking forward to seeing how your setup runs. I'm finishing up twin GT35's and anxious to see how different and/or better they will perform compared to the PT7675 I've been using these past 4 years.

Twins with the Exa here, no issues for a few years.

Perhaps with lesser pumps two may be needed....better choosing a good pump anyway though.

Where's everyone getting their Exa at? I see them on ebay and amazon, not sure if there is another vendor on here that sells them.

Aside from the added amp draw do you think it would be more ideal to have each turbo with a pump and drain line VS taking them into a Y and then back into a drain .

my timing cover already has 2 drain port fittings on it so figure it best to utilize both

I can see no sense or benefit from 2 pumps, unless somehow plumbing made it a nightmare to use one pump. Which is unlikely
