Oil to Rear Mount Turbo

My buddy and I are about to build our own custom rear mount turbo set up for my 2000 SS but the only thing that we are trying to figure out is how to get oil to the turbo since it is a rear mount set up. If you guys know what i can do that would be greatly appreciated. I looked at the STS set up and i believe that they have some type of pump but i cant get my hands on one. Thank you in advance for the help.

There is no pump to the turbo, it relies on engine oil pressure. The pump is to return the oil to the engine. There is a small plate above the oil filter that you have to drill and tap and you also need a check valve at the turbo.

STS will not sell that pump, or even the oil system by itself.
You will have use something else like:
pump
I've never used it personally, but I've heard that some do.

I 2nd the mocal. You just mount it where the STS goes (underneath behind rear seat. Then get a checkvalve to prevent oil from pooling overnight. The pump is LOUD so youll know if it ever fails. Goodluck on the build.

btw what are you guys doin for PCV and how did you setup piping?
