I want to thank all of you for the advice.  It sounds like the consensus is to not
use a scavenge pump and to use gravity.  Since I can not raise the turbo I am
looking into the possibility of fabricating an aluminum oil pan that has slightly
more capacity, horizontally. I believe that if the pan were more square the
horizontal capacity would increase. This means the oil level could be lower but
still have the same capacity as it was originally and then I could do the gravity
drain plan..  Any comments on this idea before I start cutting aluminum plate?

That sounds like a workable plan Chris. No room to lower the pan?
