Adding a oil pressure feed to the turbo is the most important part of the installation. The oil does two jobs, the lesser of which is provide lubrication. MOST important is the removal of HEAT! A good rule of thumb is to make the oil return line twice the diameter of the oil supply line. This will allow for expansion of the oil do to the tremendous heat and allow for the quick removal of the heat- laden oil. The turbo shaft "floats" on a cushion of oil, so supply must be adequate. Always drop the return oil into the sump so as to dissipate heat quickly. Also, as you will be adding more air to the engine, recalibration of the injection pump usually is done to insure correct combustion temeratures at peak horsepower.
