You're saying this like it's cheap and easy to replace a turbo.

You could modify a "turbo timer" to control the electric pump. It's goal is to keep an eye on turbo temps and when it's needed to run the engine longer (or in this case, electric pump) to keep oil pumping to cool them down.

"All I know about music is that not many people ever really hear it. [...] But the man who creates the music is hearing something else, is dealing with the roar rising from the void and imposing order on it as it hits the air. What is evoked in him, then, is of another order, more terrible because it has no words, and triumphant, too, for the same reason. And his triumph, when he triumphs, is ours." -Sonny's Blues
