How are you guys with Subaru turbo engines handling your turbo oil scavenge?
I'm actually swapping into a 912, and I don't have any room for a top mount turbo, so I have to go with a bottom mount turbo. That means I'll have to scavenge it somehow. The 914 too is pretty tight engine space wise, you guys also have to run a bottom mount turbo right? A couple options are one of those electric scavenge pumps, but I hear they're crazy noisy and loud. Another option is somehow machining one of the heads and using a cam mounted scavenge pump. Or what about using a power steering pump as a scavenge pump? |

There's no good way without a dry sump system.
If you keep the oil drain higher than the oil level you'll be fine |
