if not STS kits use engine oil pressure (aka vortechs etc...) for oil feed and a catch can/resivior with a return pump to bring it back to the motor.

Or just run 100lbs of oil pressure and call it a day.

this is to response to shiny side up, i was at mikes shop saturday. he was at san antonio raceway testing his beast. try 7.40's shuting down at around the 1000 foot mark! the car still needs some additional tuning. i think those turbos work! being that he is running a 540 cubic inch motor he really needed some other place to intstall the turbos. he had the car at sema in vegas and had probably the most people around the car. it will be in around 5 different magazines in the coming months. i think it is the most talked about car in the present and future once he starts running it. his goal?? 6.50's close to 250 mph!!

As for the link to corky bells turbocharging it is well excepted that the book while being a good read with alot of good ideas is dated. That book was around before the rear mounts really were. Turbo tech has also changed alot since that thing was written. The things the can get these new hi tech turbo's doing vs the old ones makes some of the things he stated not right.

I can't think of any better books on the subject currently out there though.

On Yellowbullet they are saying he has switched to a conventional mount system. Has anyone else heard this to be true or know why?
