plumbing the oil lines on a turbo

Instead of plumbing the lines into the oil pan can i make a resvoir that would hold the oil and just plumb the lines to that

i assume you mean the return line? no, you can't. that oil has to go back into the oil pan so it can go back into the engine. why would you want to make your oil system not a complete cycle?

I would just like to know that the oil running threw the turbos is always clean and i think that it would be alot easier to keep anything that might happen in the engine (metal debrie) out of the turbos

That would seriously affect the oil pressure dude in some way. You would be adding an extra system to the existing oil system and im sure it would affect the rest of the engine in some way. I would not do somthing like this unless you can be sure that the stock (or the right) oil pressure can be maintianed with the extra system.

you can add an oil filter to the feed line if you want the oil going to the turbo to be clean. But the main filter should be enough as long as your doing your proper oil changes.
