Default turbo oil lines

i was thinking of making my own turbo system for my notch and having it mount under the car like an sts turbo but i am worried about the oil lines where would i tap in to get the oil and would the oil be able to circulate back to the engine by itself or would i have to get a seperate pump for that.

this is why the sts turbos are an epic fail device. any turbos mount below the oil pan gasket lines have trouble with their oil lines....you see and hear about it all the time.

+1 on forgetting the low mount turbo bs.

You would need a reservoir to collect oil and second pump to
pump it back into the pan.

You get oil supply from the pressure sensor fitting.

STS turbos are crap

plumb a line from one of the pressurized oil galleys to the rear or get an auxillary pump. the rear mount isn't too hard to set up if you think it through. stock ride height foxes have plenty of room above the rear axles i think. or at least mine does.
