I have thought about it too, but just havent had the chance to give it a try.
I'm thinking you would need 2 pumps; feed and return. You could incorporate some kind of cooler, but on a rear mount, I dont think it would be that much of an issue since you dont have the engine to heat the oil.
I am putting a turbo in the bed of my '92 and was thinking about a nice polished oil tank with 2 pumps. Not sure when I will start that project though.

How much oil do you need????
Im doing custom rear twins on a 03 silvy....
I was thinking about putting a nice box under the truck, with a pump taking it to the turbos, and a pump pulling it out... But just recycling the oil back into the tank....
How would that work??

that idea is nice. but does the oil out of the turbo come out with pressure so no pump would be needed if the tank is lower like u guys said or would their be a risk of it cloggin up?

you make the returnline big so the oil can come back together. i guess it tends to bubble up alittle. i've seen returns line like 1/2" or bigger. put the tank lower than the turbo so it will gravity drain like a front mount. and put the filter infront of the pump after the tank so the pump pulls good clean oil. shouldn't need but 1-2 quarts i would think. they don't need much oil. as long as the tank is under the truck just put some heat sinks on it( like an amp has for reffrence) that should keep it cool enough.
