I have two of these with check valves before and after the tubo (to keep oil from flowing back into the turbo) these are sell priming pumps so you will not need a "scavange tank" Get on the mustang turbo forum and do a seach on oil pumps-lots of information. Rouge is correct, the best way is to mount the turbos high enough you can drain into the pan. You should have been able to do this since you made your own headers. Also note you will need an oil restictor before the tee out of your sending unit. Vipers have alot of head pressure and that will blow oil right past the turbo seals.

Hey Dan. I had a few more questions. I just want to make sure I do it right. I was afraid of using oil restrictors b/c i've heard they starve journal bearing turbos oil and may damage the turbos. But I think I will be okay to use restrictors since the viper has a high flow oil pump.
Why do you have a check valve before the turbo? The turbo is always fed with high oil pressure on the feed side so i don't see why a check valve before turbo is needed. Since the oil is at 60 psi+ on the feed side why would it ever see back pressure?
Also why a check valve on the drain side. If the turbo is above the oil level no oil would enter back into the drain line.
I'll do it and get these parts but it has to make some sence to me
Im guessing you get the supply of oil right at the oil filter unit. I have to unplug the brass plug? Thats how mustangs are must making sure its the same for vipers.
Alright Dan thanks for your help
