Re: remote turbo kit

["Mark Price" <mprice@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I think if I was building one for my personal use, I'd investigate running a small oil cooler and fan, resevoir, pump, filter system and isolate it from the engine completely. Might prove too costly to actually be feasable, but with a quality synthetic oil and the right capacity system????????????

>I don't think the oil line will be a big problem. If you don't like running a line from the engine you could make a reservoir that would hold about a quart and mount it nearer the turbo, say in the trunk. An intake could also be run up into the trunk or a fender well. The kit has an electric oil circulating pump. Just run metal brake line. I'd coil or zig-zag a foot or so to act as a cooler. Running a metal brake line for oil shouldn't be a problem though. You already have pressurized brake lines running under the car, they aren't a problem and runn much higher psi, though not all the time. Now if your brake lines leak it isn't likely to kill the engine, but it is likely to kill you -- so no need of an engine... ;>
