Default APS ST oiling design?

Anybody know how the oil drain from the turbo to the oilpan works. Seems that with the turbo placed so low there might be some oil drainage issues to the pan....anybody know how they accomplish this without a sump?? Thanks.

By what means? It looks like in the one pic on the website that there is a unit mounted on the passenger side with some oil lines running in and out but I have not seen any mention from APS on the device used.

I don't know what brand it is, but it's supposedly some high grade 25000hour life pump.

I was concerned about this so I asked what would happen if it broke. Should be able to tell if it does since you'll blow smoke blow smoke, no motor damage. APS did point out that it shouldn't break of course.
