TURBO OILING - - Here's my stupid question - - -why not just use a separate oil
supply and system for the turbos?

Mayf,
My opinion -- again.
TURBO OILING
Supply regulated oil pressure recommended by the manufacturer and
the volume will be correct.
Use Syn. oil and ignore the temperature, BUT remember the oil coming
out of the turbo looks like it has spent the afternoon in a high speed
blender. I don't understand how a turbo creates so much foam, but
that is what I've seen. Maybe it was just my turbo ...???
There must be turbos that don't do that...
OIL PAN
Jack has run on the long course with SBC's and a 8-10 quart pan.
the engines were NA 302-38?. I saw the rod bearings and they looked
used but good.
Jack ran a twin turbo flathead with a large pan and only wiped out the
rod bearings once.
I suspect that turbo foamed oil had something to do with it, but I
couldn't afford to prove it.
Just my 2 cents,
Bryan
