Just to a top/front mount and be done with it. Do not trust or rely on those pumps to be there when you want them to.

that means new headders, new exhaust.

i can save myself a **** load by having a twin turbo system in the rear like the sts vett set up.

all i have to do is cut the pipes, weld on the flanges, and run the air up to the intercooler.
all i need is a way to send the oil back up to the motor.

There's gotta be a better pump out there than what comes with the STS.... I'd drop serious coin on a pump if it gave better piece of mind about an expensive engine getting toasted....



But I'm front mounted my turbo oil pump is on the end of the crankshaft

it would'nt be such a problem if i had a way to cool the oil.
then i could use a cheap fuel pump to send the warm oil back to the motor.

The Pump was the exact reason why I sold my STS kit. I just don't feel comfortable with it.

Why couldn't you run it through some type of h/x.... Just monitor the temps after the cooler and see if they're low enough to be pumped with a fuel pump...

im game i'll give it a try, i'll pick up an B&M supercooler and see how much it lower the temp on my motor oil.
if i can get to drop low enough so it wont harm the plastic parts inside.

Same pump STS uses, and it's a quality pump. Brass gears, SS shaft... I ran 1 for 2 years and to my knowledge its still running on the old setup. They're pricey now, they were about $100 cheaper a year ago.
