    Default Oil feed for supercharger /turbo charger

    hey i need a bit of help with feeding my turbo with oil. i don't really want to tap the sump if i don"t have to. i heard about people using other source to feed it and using a inline 12 volt pump on the return to keep the oil flowing. any body know where i could find more info or any think on oil feed systems for a forced feed ls1

    best and most common spot to get the feed from is the little plate above the oil filter
    you need to tap the sump for the return line not the feed
    the scavenging pump is used for low mount turbos to return the oil to the sump not to feed it
    feed line is a pressure line so it doesnt use or need a pump

    you can but you will need a scavnge pump to suck the oil from the turbo outlet to the rocker cover any pressure in the return blows seals
