I agree 100%
My thoughts are because the engine will be at 70psi and the first stage turbo will be seeing this extreme high pressure and the way all turbos are designed is to bleed of a small amount of pressure to the center cartridge between the two bearings. This in turn does add pressure to the crankcase pressure and with the high amount of boost I will be adding will even make it worse. High crankcase pressure can unseat the piston rings, kill engine efficiency and blow gaskets out.
The other part is turbos add heat to the oil in the engine due to the heat they create. Since I have two it will make this even more of a problem.
My design has a pump, oil tank and a cooler. It will also be vented.
The air provided for cooler for the turbo self-contain oil system will come from passenger side turn indicator that will no longer be used. My head lights will be upgraded to a halogen type that has the turn indicator inside of the headlights. I will need some advice from the aero folks here where to exhaust the warm air from the turbo cooler and transmission cooler?
