Pre/post luber kits for turbo

[86Nick]

Thinking about buying a pre/post luber kit since my last turbo incident. What's your guys outlook on these? Who makes them?

I have the one that ESP sells, actually got two in like 2000 or something for $800 total.

Anyways, I primarily got mine for the dry starting of the motor and not really for the turbo but it's a nice feature and I let mine stay on for about 2 minutes after it shuts down. IF you can keep the motor and turbo alive it's worth it, if you rebuild or race a lot, not sure it's worth it.

This is not going to save your turbo as coking is not really an issue that comes up with our turbo's so I'm not sure I'd spend $500 + on this if that's your mine goal.

ACCUSUMP PRE-OILER KITS We've got this setup but it IS very expensive. About half the price of a good turbo. Running one on my own GN but it's time might be limited on my car as I am thinking of going to a front mount and it won't fit with a FM.

That is merely a FILTER for the turbo. Does not prelube anything. Nice setup but not what the original poster was looking for. The one I sell holds two quarts of oil in reserve and automatically releases it to the motor when you turn the key on. You wait a few minutes with the key on while the oil is lubing the motor. Really weird watching the oil pressure gauge come up with the motor not running.

Once motor starts the 2 qts of oil is pumped back into the accusump chamber where it stays until the next start OR if you lose oil pressure.
