George I wouldnt remove the oil cooler, itīs there for a reason and as You said You will be adding more heat with the turbo. Getting oil to the turbo isnīt a big problem ,just route a hose between the oil gallery outlet beneath the ignition cover about AN4 size. Oil drainback is another issue ,there are diffrent ways of doing this. I use a line routed from the turbo to the oil pan ,through the oil pan there is a pipe and then the line continues to the oil pickup where the line mounts on a tubular fitting that protrudes into the pickup and are ageled cut wich creates a light suction out the oil drainback line when the oil rushes past. If You mount the turbo in about the same position as I (or Rick) You will also need a one way valve in the line, otherwise the oil will pour out into the turbo and fill up the exhaust with oil, not a very fun thing! I know because when My one way valve broke it happened to Me and the fire department payed Me a visit. Some people use a reed valve instead of the angel cut pipe in the pickup. I got a very nice drawing of such a device from Rick a while back, You could ask Him if You want. Some people here in Sweden use a waterpump from a 125cc motocrosser modified to fit into the ignition cover and is driven off the crank trigger. This pump then sucks oil from a vented oil pan placed beneath the turbo, works very well Iīve heard. You can plug the water holes on the turbo if You wish.
