Default STS and low/no oil pressure

On the STS kits, has anyone had problems getting oil to the turbo if the motor is running with very little or no oil pressure?

Just regarding the placement of the oil line tap on the engine.

sts kit comes with a booster pump for the turbo... Also you wouldn't want to run your engin if your getting little to no oil pressure, if you do say bye bye engine even under no load situations

The booster oil pump is working fine, it's just not getting any oil at the tap before the booster oil pump.

Never any problems with oil to the turbo. My sons LT1 car shows pretty low oil pressure, but all is still great.
