Home Made Oil Cooler
I have done the turbo oil feed from remote oil cooler thing B4. I likes it cause the center section got cooler oil. Also by T'ing into the cooler return with a smaller line then the cooler in/out line, allowed the turbo to get a nice low pressure feed. That poor little turbo lasted 2yrs.
My current turbo was fed off the oil sender, and its seals are done. (about 6months)
Based on this and others experiences with seal failure, I am led to believe that a low pressure feed (ala..OEM) is essential to your seals longevity. IMHO.
I use this now:

are you saying that you routed the exit from the oil cooler to the turbo inlet? seems like it would take a long time for the oil to reach the turbo when you first start the engine(a long time being 2 seconds). that T valve seems like a good idea but how did you find a good setting?

i think at idle oil should be around 15 all the way up to about 70psi at wot.
should we be worried about idle oil flow? i doubt it.
great advice about running it inline to the feed to drop pressure, i think ill do the same.
i think he just tee'd in a gauge to adjust pressure.
