How much oil (from the engine) does a turbo need to "live"?? I have a 3/16 hose with a #200 main jet in it,and has worked for 4 years,but sometimes on a long pull uphill,my oil level light comes on and goes out by the time I get to the bottom. (meaning the scavage pump can't get the oil back to the oil tank fast enough?) I just read someplace that bender has a #50 jet in their oil line ,is this true(like a 50 mikuni main jet?)and do you think that would be enough oil and cure my problem?
sled is a vector,front mount (homebilt) garrett gt25 :o|
thanks cv

Is there an 'R' after the GT 25?
 
I run a 50 in mine it's a pilot jet. Lots of the flatlanders run 35 pilot jets. I may switch to that in the future. It had an 85 in it when I bought it and there was a fair amount of oil in the charge tube.
