Thread: My turbo update

Not to rain on the parade but turbos gravity feed the return oil back into the engine.... I always thought putting the turbo in that spot looked nice sure, but oil is just going to pool in the return line as the oil pressure going into the turbo for lube isnt intended to push the oil out, another reason the return line is so big as its not a pressure line so much as a volume to allow drainback. So with that thought at hand I would be curious to know a turbo's and the oils life with that arrangement or oil puddleing up and causing the seals to not do their intended job in the turbo. Just some food for thought
