just looking at the pics of the beemer. whats the two braided returns going to? looks like its a pump for running a dry sump setup maybe? still if its effective ime not convinced
turbo's look to be t34 size. lag would be hidious!
still,. can apriciate the engineering

yes, apprently so, but on big capacity cars anyway that isnt much of an issue, big capicty also usally means less engine sapce, so not a bad result

Why? its not going to loose oil pressure over a lenth of pipe, and its going to be cooler at least.
Not ideal at all must be a bit more lag, but might not need as big a cooler due to the long boost pipes so maybe not as bad as you might think.
A big intercooler is say 20 litres, the long boost pipes might only hold 10-15.
Remember a 90 degree bend is equal to about 10 foot of straight pipe so flow wont be too bad either.

the return isnt under any pressure though, the idea is for a straight downwould route from the turbo to the sump. dont think the flow of oil would be too good in this case. you would be suprised on how much oil passes through a turbo. any resistance will back it up agaisnt the bearing and effectively stop the flow. the hose once came off my oil return and it emptied a galoon off opil in about 20 seconds
