Title: Turbo oil return Post by: chez2165 on May 09, 2022, 12:03:11 pm I have a bus that's running a single throttle body that's turboed. The previous owner has plumbed the oil return out of the turbo through an independent pump and back into the block off plate of a universal case.
I'm wanting to simplify things and remove the pump, I have a deep sump that has an oil fitting within, what I'm wondering is if there would be enough pressure out of the turbo to return the oil into the deep sump. Any advice is gratefully received. Title: Re: Turbo oil return Post by: Erlend / bug66 on May 09, 2022, 12:23:35 pm Where is the turbo located?

Thanks Title: Re: Turbo oil return Post by: spoolin70 on May 09, 2022, 15:10:53 pm Is the turbo mounted above the level of the fitting in the sump ?
Or in other words, would there be a drop/fall on the return pipe ? Title: Re: Turbo oil return Post by: chez2165 on May 09, 2022, 15:48:03 pm There is definitely a fall of approximately 2 to 3 inch I would say but I haven't fitted the sump with the oil return yet but going on the position of the current sump extension I would say so.
