This forum is fun, I like you guys.

Btw, vladiator, you are right. The IDEAL setup would for me to install two additional scavenge pumps in the tappet covers and then 4 in the oil pan , drain everything to an external resivoir with baffles, and then feed that back into the engine oil pump pickup and tee off to the turbo lines. The...

Hey guys, sorry for the radio silence. New born baby at home! Less time for car talk. Molakule, yes I read your paper. Thanks for posting that. Those same points are emphasized heavily during installer training, but the paper takes a more detailed dive into the mechanisms. I especially thought...

Vladiator! Where did you find these charts! Holy **** I have looked for weeks trying to find this information! Tranny oil is back in the list! Now just gotta find a gear oil that will jive with the 01a and not eat a turbo from the inside out... Seriously, if you're ever in the lake cumberland...

Thanks again for all the replies. After understanding more about gear oil additives, I'll cross this off the list. There are so few manual transmissions anymore that detailed discussion about the stuff rarely ever comes up. Sorry for talking out of turn on the oil list, I didn't mean to tick...

Rand - That's really great to know. I guess I misread the wording on their spec sheet. Thanks for clarifying that though - I guess that's what they mean when they say that there are no "conventional" sulfur-phorphorus compounds. Kschachn - the issue with the list is several fold - first, it is...

Holy cow, tons of replies! That's a sweet video, it always amazes me how hot this stuff runs. 1400 on paper is just a number, in real life it's horrifying! The RP maxgear does not contain the sulfur compounds which become acidic at high temps. My gearbox has quite a bit of bronze in the...

Can you elaborate on this point a bit? I am still very new to learning about oils, and dditives and metal compatibilities are still a bit of a mystery.

The setup for the transmission cooler was designed by myself - transmission to pump to cooler and back to transmission. I can very easily put a filter in line and then plumb into the turbos. No, I do not think that the gear oil is necessarily better than motor oil. The motivation for using the...

sorry, I accidentally posted halfway through. The second half is there now

I am in the process of installing a remote twin turbo setup (journal bearing style) on a 00 boxster 2.7L H6 5 speed manual transmission (01a model for those familiar with german automotives). I have a transmission cooler setup that I could very easily use to supply oil to my turbos but I am...
