The types of turbos used in the kit's that were offered for DeLoreans are the type that float the impeller shaft in oil which is flowing through holes in the bushing surrounding the shaft. The life of that bushing can be measured in seconds if not milliseconds if oil flow is inadequate or disrupted when under boost. Trying to install filtering up stream of the turbo or trying to design a separate source for the oil shouldn't even be considered as a part of the system.
