Where else do you think you'd get oil from? 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.
