I've been looking into plumbing my turbos oiling system, but I've heard of bad things happening with oil contamination, etc. b/c of the turbo; would it be plausable to build an oil system just for the turbo? Like, a catch can with a filter in the oil line before the oil reaches the turbo? I can't imagine it'd be that expensive; whatcha think?

they make 12v oil pumps, search google for it, there's even a t-bo(don't know who makes it butit has the 12v oil pump kit. btw if you do it get a small oil cooler, the turbo spinner at 25k rpm heats the hell out the oil.
