how much oil does a turbo need? If I had twin rear turbos, could i have 2 catch cans(1 per turbo) and 1 oil pump, could i use a Y or T fitting to the oil pump and feed the turbos that way. The catch cans are very affordable so 2 of them are like 30 bucks.

No one realy knows yet, the oil can be foamy or air bubbley when running hard, to small amount of oil in the tank you could suck this oil into the pump and back to the turbo.
First one testing really needs a temp gauge to see just how hot that oil is getting, and clear lines to make sure the oil is not foaming up...

just my thoughts.

few things to remember....
those pumps you were looking at on ebay, look a lot like a pull behind sprayer pump for your lawnmower, made to pump cold water, not hot oil. They have plastic housings and plastic gears/plungers...I would be worried about them failing. STS uses a steel pump if I'm not mistaken

also, remember that your line from the return from the bottom of the turbo has to flow into the tank above the level of the oil so it has no effort to fill, so your tank will have to sit pretty low and be of good size. You may be able to get rid of the oil cooler, a simple temp sensor would tell you soon enough if you needed it. Either way, it will be nice and cool back there so a small tranny cooler would work I bet.
