Under Truck (rear mount) Q's

Anyone have any experience with the comp oil-less turbos? I need to do some research into them, but the idea sounds sweet and expensive. I feel like a coolant line is more reliable than a oil line. My biggest concern is the oil return pump failure which i guess if it had a guage in line to monitor return pressure it wouldnt be too bad.

I looked at those, got me real interested. So i have some questions that you guys can most definatly provide insight into.
1. How much boost can I run reliably on this motor and daily drive it and drive it on road trips without comprimising logevity of life or melting it down. Keep in mind i plan Turbo spec'd cam and prolly springs, but stock 6l80e, stock heads, valves, intake, gaskets, bottom end, don't anticipate a stud kit or a meth kit.
2. If i end up with a traditional turbo as opposed to the comp oil less turbo, has anyone seen a self contained oil system with a resevoir, filter, scavenger and maybe a oil cooler? This is just a thought, also wonder about proper oil temp with this set up, would that be a concern?
3. I have a catted Y on my ARH Lts and initially thought mid mount would come right off of ARH collector flange into a custom short pipe with waste gate and then turbo flange, but I realized the catted Y could reduce velocity so should I swap to a ARH non-catted Y or have my mandrel exhaust shop bend me a smaller (maybe 2.5" cat-less Y) with room for the wastegate and then the corresponding turbo flange?
Bouncing around ideas, I plan to build this kit and assemble the parts myself as many do to keep cost down yet keep streetability. Im trying to get the Turbo setup and specs dialed down then tackle the cold side second and then fuel issue last. Ohh and tuning i was thinking Justin at BB could help me with that since hes tune is in the truck now. Keep the thoughts coming from those with experience!
