Paul,

This ones for Dave.   What happens to the oil return from the turbo and or
PSRU on a slip, descent  or left wing low situation on final approach.  I
would think the oil wouldn't flow back to the pan.   Because of this I am
considering putting a small gerator scavenger pump to collect the oil from
both the turbo and PSRU.   Am I overly worried?

Using the stock oil pan that never causes a problem.  The only time I have a
problem is with spins.  after about 4 turns in an RV the spin rate gets
pretty brisk along with the centrifugal forces.  Oil pressure drops out
sometime around turn 6.
