How did the nitrous jets idea go over Jeremy?
Where is the oil for the turbo coming from?
You could run an larger oil cooler, that would significantly lower pressure in the system and you cold tap the oil feed from that source instead of the engine, this would reduce oil pres and oil temps maybe low enough to stop from killing seals.
I know that I had so many problems with oil on my MR2 that we came up with an oil distribution block. I machined a block of Aluminum with 3 outlet ports and 1 inlet port coming straight from the head. one for oil pressure sensor, 1 port for Oil Pres Gauge and 1 for turbo feed. This allowed time for the oil to slow down in a chamber before being fed into the turbo. I mounted it about 3inches above head as well so at idle there would be even less pressure, Worked out great.
Ill find a pic of it and post her up.

thing to remeber is that on most of the built motors is that people replace the oil pumps with the revup pumps. That pump flows about 30% more than the reg. This prob. isn't helping the situation but should be done with the built motors. Just gotta figure out a way to keep the pressure down to the turbo.

I personally don't care if we run a smaller restrictor, as long as my engine has enough oil and it's not burning off or blowing by at the turbo.

I'm also changing to a 7am-3pm shift at work so I'll be able to run it at drag and/or drift test and tunes at bradenton every week.
