Not a bad idea. If there's anybody who has actually tried running whale oil through a turbocharger, he's probably a member of this group: DIYGasTurbines : Home-built gas turbine jet engines

Go forth, and be a pioneer!
i don't think you're following me completely. this is a truck and the turbo would be mounted up under the bed of the truck next to the trans, therefore a drain to the engines oil pan wouldn't have much of a slope to drain properly. that's why he thought he could get an oil feed from a trans line and drain it into the trans pan. regardless neither of us would be pioneering this. if i wanted a big power truck i'd go diesel anyway
